ss Posted April 27, 2008 CID Share Posted April 27, 2008 OK, heres a puzzler for everyone! I have a PC with Win2k and IE6. Fully patched scanned and clean. If I come to testmy.net via IE6 The page will display then the IE6 window freezes. I can wait 30 minutes and nothing happens. Everything - I mean everything - even simple links. If I try to close the window I get the wonderful MS "Not responding" window. So far (please keep in mind I do not do much browsing) this only occurs on testmy.net. and a few other sites. I have no problems with firefox... I have googled the problem and nothing is really helpful. I have uninstalled every possible "plug in" and "toolbar" (java, google, etc) I have uninstalled ie6 and reinstalled. I have uninstalled using Ieradicator and reinstalled I have scanned using spybot, hijackthis, adaware, AVG, blacklight you name it. I ran a windows repair. I have re-registered all the pertinent .dll's (urlmon, etc) The problem still remains. Ideas? ...other than the "Just use Firefox then..." response? I do need IE6 to function and it is a convenience thing - when using IE6 for the IE required sites - sometimes I open testmy.net and of course I get locked up.

mudmanc4 Posted April 27, 2008 CID Share Posted April 27, 2008 May I suggest upgrading to IE 7 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx Nevermind , I forgot 2k doesn't support 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss Posted April 27, 2008 Author CID Share Posted April 27, 2008 IE7 is not compatible with Win2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted April 27, 2008 CID Share Posted April 27, 2008 I would be almost certain there are some compatibility issues, with an old browser, and the newer scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss Posted April 27, 2008 Author CID Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yes - cookies and everything. Even tried renaming my temp files/folders, in case there was disk/file corruption, forcing storage to occur elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss Posted April 27, 2008 Author CID Share Posted April 27, 2008 thanks mud! But I think I found it... The one "plugin" that remained after all of this was Skype's IE plugin. Once I removed that IE6 and testmynet function.... for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted April 27, 2008 CID Share Posted April 27, 2008 Try testing again, just to make sure that your issue wasn't related to a recent bug fix I just put in place. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss Posted April 28, 2008 Author CID Share Posted April 28, 2008 CA3LE: it still works! MUD: um- er, uh How about a week or two? Starting now? I mean honestly, my bank of Commodore 64's has worked so hard to get to 3rd place, and I wouldnt want to dissappoint then by letting them get beat. Have a heart!
