Hi
On one of my machines I have somehow gotten into a bizarre mode with
MSIE 6 that simply doesn't want to clear. Any attempt to go to a
URL (regardless of how it is done), results in the browser hanging.
I discovered by chance that if I select the text in the Address line,
then right click it, then select Copy, the page will begin to draw.
I sometimes have to repeat this sequence two to four times before the
page finishes. It can take as much as a minute to finish drawing
the page, and I'm on a very fast DSL line.
What would cause MSIE to hang like this on every web page?
First try clearing your TIF's and History:
