Ya, slap Windows 2000 Professional on your system.

IE 6 is beta. As a result, it's a little buggy. Clean out the temp internet files and delete cookies, then reboot the machine. See if that helps. |

Check to make sure that your network/dial-up settings haven't changed and are set to what your ISP recommends.
You can obviously get here. Is this problem with specific pages or random or what? |

Two evils I see...
1) Windows ME has to be one of the WORST operating systems ever. I bought a copy, installed it, and nuked it within a few hours. I called MS to bitch to them and their solution was to send me 2 more free copies for my troubles. (I accepted of course!) I promptly sent them to two of my worst enemies... 2) IE 6.0 is still in beta/testing and has a number of issues and bugs they are working on. Once it's complete, I will make sure it is 100% functional with this site. (Ok maybe like 92%, I'm a bit lazy!) For now, I suggest sticking with IE 5.5 until the 6.0 browser is released! -- GB |

I realized that IE6 was a beta when I DL'd it. My 5.5 became corrupted, and would often just sit there while "finding" a web site. So I planned on re-DLing and reinstalling...the problem was that every 5.5 link on the MS website actually took me to the 6 DL page. I decided to hell w/ it, and started using 6. I have problems with all sorts of pages, but like I said, I can't use hotmail or yahoo right now. I'll try clearing my cache...I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for the replies
brouhaha Update...clearing the cache solved the problem. YAY! Thanks for the help guys, it was driving me nuts. I'm a little embarrassed I didn't think of the solution [:I] |

Quoted: GB, I've had no problems on this site with build 2488 on Win2k. Woohoo! And that's why I love Microsoft browsers. If I were to try Nutscrape 6 on it, I probably would want to smash my monitor... (I am in the midst of Netscaping the site. Did I ever mention how much I HATE Netscape???) -- GB |

Nutscrape!!! Someone else who uses that term!! Wooo Hooo!!!
Guys/gals, remember when you download beta software you are past the "bleeding edge". Take your lumps, fill out the bug reports and be quiet. If you can't handle it, go back a version. As for Intermitant Exploder, yes it has it own probs. But far less than Nutscrape. IE 6.0 has the new feature of "Smart Tags". Woooaaa, this is scary stuff. If IE see's the word "Microsoft" it will automagicly make it hyperlink to Microsoft's web site. Scary. If anyone want to use a true industry compliant browser (one that follow the W3 standards to the T), download Opera. Small, and fast. You have to put up with a window for ads, but it does work. I did run all three browsers for awhile, but I did settle on IE for pure personal reasons (I know all the keyboard shortcuts). But my second choice is Opera. If you are fed up with things, give it a try. |

The smart tags hysteria is completely overblown. IE6 has an option to disable them and comes that way by default. I'm not paying for a www browser. |
