link to launch another browser (pop up or otherwise) it
freezes all the browsers open and lags extremely. Even

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Since you are posting using the web interface I suspect that you
are telling us that you don't know that you can use the Expand All
button or click on the [+] boxes to expand individual threads.


If you just want to read it try a Google Groups search with:

author:Ouro group:microsoft.*.ie6.browser

< http://groups.google.com/ >


Alternatively try using this link to the new web interface instead:

< http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx >

You can just type your name in the search field. There is no Expand All
option there but expanding individual threads is easier.

Hmm... it may be just as well that you have a known thread to search for.
In the message pane that that brought up there was a link to this newsgroup.
Clicking on that opened up the navigation tree on the left.
Apparently this newsgroup is buried under:
English
United States
Windows
Windows
Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer 6 General

I was almost ready to believe that they hadn't converted this newsgroup
to the new interface yet. I have no idea how they expect users to find
it that way.
