Forced to Refresh

[Mike]

I am having a problem with some web pages and I cannot
for the life of me figure this out. I originally thought
this problem could be resolved following the resolution
instructions for MS knowledge base #818506 (which told me
to install SP1 for IE6) but this did not work.

Here is the problem. Some web sites will not open at all
when I first try to load them, but if I hit the refresh
button on the browser, everything is fine. With other
pages, JS mouseovers do not appear but again, if I
refresh the page, they work fine. On my company's home
page for example, IE throws an error which
says 'HM_CurrentTree' is null or not an object. When I
try to login to some secure sites, the browser stalls
indefinitely while trying to load the page. In both
cases however, if I F5 or hit the refresh button, the
page loads fine.

Can someone please help me??

FYI to everyone reading this....I seemed to finally
resolve my own problem by running some spyware from
http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?
part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button

When I deleted all the malicious files and rebooted, the
problem was resolved.

I have the same problem and I have downloaded and run ad-
aware 6.0 with no success. Any other suggestions?

From: Günter Tomczyk in a News Group
I just made an upgrade from IE5.5 to IE6.0. Now I have a problem, that I. E.
is not working with any HTML tag:
e.g.<META http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=/....">
Answer: I found it.
In the IE-Options->security, I had to allow "META REFRESH".

Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.

The first version requires Windows 2000, XP; the second version requires
Microsoft Windows 98, Millenium Edition (Me), or NT 4.0.
