IS 6.0.2990 Problem

[Herb Stein]

Hello-

My father (86+) says IE, when he clicks on the down arrow to get the list of
recently visited sites, tosses out gibberish. Numbers and such. If he clicks
in the window to enter a web site, it usually enters, but goes nowhere.

I'm not there to see the symptoms, but does anyone have a clue as to the
cause? Perhaps one of the recent MS "fixes" that I can tell him to
uninstall.

Already cleared the temp files and cookies to no avail.

Thanks.

For those who have Hewlett Packard's Share to Web Software, there are two
registry patches to choose from (run either one or the other) not both:

Ottmar Freudenberger has made a patch available at:-
http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip
(Note this is a Zip file and will need to be extracted. It contains a REG
file
which needs to be imported into the registry)
or
Kelly has made a patch available at:

Line #383 - this is a vbs file and instructions on how to use such files are
at the top of the page.
