Internet explorer issue.
-
I don't know if this is really the place to post this, but here goes. I am currently using IE 6.0 on a Windows 98 system (with all current updates). The OS was installed clean. I have also installed Netscape 7.0. Here is my problem: Intermittantly IE 'hangs'. That is I can browse websites fine, until I click on a link (random) and the IE seems to 'pause' and load and load and load the website - as if the site is not responding. Then, after a period of maybe 3 &1/2 minutes, it loads the website no problem. This is not a network problem, as during the 3&1/2 minute pause I can start Netscape and load the site fine. In fact, this never occurs if I browse using Netscape. Furthermore, if I try entering http://www.hotmail.com in the address bar of IE, it WILL NOT load the site, ever. Again, Netscape 7.0 loads it trouble-free. I have tried reverting to IE 5.5, but I continue to get the same results. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

According to my ISP, there is a problem with IE6 SP1. For a long time I've thought I was the only one having trouble - every two days or so I click on a link and the whole server freezes, and nothing will fix it but a complete restart of the system. My ISP reports to me that every customer who has SP1 installed on IE6 is having the same problem. Microsoft has not acknowledged it, nor offerred a solution yet, and I have not found any third party that can confirm the problem or recommend a fix. Frustrating, eh? I am beginning to feel an attraction to penguins, for some odd reason... Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!

Paul Watson, on BLOGS and privacy - 1/16/2003There is a problem with IE6 SP1 the best way to sort this out is to uninstall the SP1.You can do this in XP\2k by going to add\remove programs but From XP\2K downwards the Service pack gets embeded into the operating system.So in that case its a Rinsatall of the operating system to get rid of this problem. Thanks Stephen :););P:-D:(:((:-O:zzz::omg::wtf::rolleyes::laugh::mad::confused::~ :| X| :suss::cool::eek:

Good idea. According to my ISP, though, the remove programs option also wipes out the repair option and corrupts the IE6 installation on all the Win2K systems he's tried it on. Granted, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he does keep good notes on what he's tried for his customers. I'm hopeful that MS will one day release a fix for the problem - re-installing the OS is not an attractive option.
