Try the steps and let me know.

I have IE 8, and XP-SP3. I have the same problem as described above. IE used to print web pages just fine, but won’t any more. I’ll get a “Page 1 of 1″ at the top and at the bottom I’ll get “file://C:DOCUME~1\ESS\LOCALS~1\Temp\UUKA31QE.htm”. The middle is blank. I’ve reset IE to default with no success. I did not try the 6 steps above since this is XP and IE 8. Any suggestions?

Simple fix here. It sappears that your default html viewer has been changed to word. For windows 7, go tools, internet options/programs/set program/associate and default programs. Ensure HTML is IE, and the default browser is IE.
That should do it!

DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHETHER THE OS IS XP OR VISTA?

THANKS.

Talk about craziness. Way to be persistent…just another reason why I never use IE.

Okay, I attempted a repair of IE7. Everything looked like it was going to be fixed, but then a web page kept displaying asking me if I still wanted Google search engine to be the default. I said yes and the fix was shown to have Failed.

Then, I reinstalled IE7. Again the web page displayed asking about the search engine. I answered the same way, got the same results. I changed my answer to no and now the fix displayed as Successful.

So apparently, IE doesn’t want Google to be the default search engine either…… Someone else must have installed Google Desktop/Search engine as default somewhere along the way on this machine and apparently this was also a factor. Go figure.

Anyway, System Restore now works, hmtl now prints from IE, problem appears to be resolved.

You might have to do the uninstall on SP3, but you might be right on trying the IE8 upgrade first. Have you also tried the reset Internet Explorer option in the Advanced tab of IE options?

nope, running IE7 v20061107.210142, however, maybe I should go ahead and install IE8….that may fix the problem. I didn’t realize how many OS functions used this .dll, but there are several, including Help, System Restore, Remote Assistance, etc. etc. and I can’t use them now. What I don’t get is why I can’t register the .dll again (using another version). I’ve even tried this in safe mode. Well, I’ll take other suggestions if you got ‘em, otherwise, I may need to uninstall SP3 (which is not a simple uninstall), and/or reapply SP3, or backup system and rebuild – obviously last resort.
