home button not working properly

Sometimes when I press my IE 6 on XPSP2 home button, it says opening my home
page URL (my.yahoo.com) in the status bar, but the URL stays the same in the
Address field and the page goes blank and nevers displays my home page. So I
have to click Home again to get there.

But this only happens on one PC, the other PC for the same homepage is fine.

I ran sfc /scannow and that didn't report anything. I also ran my AntiVirus,
Microsoft AntiSpyWare and Ad-Aware and nothing was reported.

Its *very* annoying as we have to press it twice many times.

Any suggestions out there ? thanks ...
 
Hi Jamie :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Clearing the TIF Cache -

Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

or.

How to Delete the Contents of the Temporary Internet Files Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260897
Delete view off-line files not the pages File, Save as.

If TIF is much larger than 50 MB, IE starts to slow down because it's
actually faster to get the information from the Internet than to find it in
TIF. In addition, you start losing the ability to save pictures as anything
but a BMP and you lose the ability to View | Source. Unfortunately, as far
as I know IE still by default grabs some percentage of the drive for TIF and
for large drives this is way too much. 50 MB seems to be about the best.

Hope this helps.
