Problem with displaying sites

Hello,

I think it started right after SP2 installation.

Suddenly, some sites just don't work. I just see a word "Done" at the
buttom and the screen is empty. I think it has something to do with
javascript errors maybe or something like this.

These sites work in Firefox and Opera. Is there anything I can check?

Thanx.
 
Hi :-)

Could be several things causing the problem. Try the following and see if
it helps:

Don't forget about the Information Bar that comes with SP2

Allow active content to run in files on My Computer - Windows XP Service

The install includes a new jscript.dl

Enable Flash in SP2

Internet Options> Advanced> Security> Check "Allow active content to run in
files on My Computer"

You will, of course, be giving up some of the security provided by SP2.

You can also make My Computer visible in Internet Options> Security to allow
additional tweaking.

running.

Hope this helps.
