IE 6 question....

[alan matthews]

When I click a Hot Link or something that opens another window in IE, it just sits there with the little window flag showing that its searching for the site....  I hit stop and then the address shows in the address bar.   Hit refresh button and it loads up like normal.  

Any ideas?

Have you scanned for viruses and Spyware? HAve you been keeping up with your Windows Updates?

All updates have been installed and there are no spyware or viruses.

Any ideas??

Does this happen on every link you click on or just every now & then?

Try the following:

1. Start
2. Settings
3. Control Panel
4. Internet Options
5. Privacy
6. Reset all zones to default.

And:

1. Start
2. Settings
3. Control Panel
4. Internet Options
5. Advanced
6. Recover default settings
-- Would anyone be as kind to provide me with the proper translation...? I should not have bought a localized version of Windows XP..

Raptor, mine says 'Restore Defaults'
W2K + IE6 right up to date.
