hi,

I have 2 computers with the IE6. The only difference is the version of IE6.
Computer 1 has IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2.gdr.070227-2254
Computer 2 has IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2.qfe.070227-2300

I have a really weird situation. I use both computers to visit the same
website at http:\\dms.myflorida.com.

Computer 1 is OK to show the entire webpage (the banner, the text body, the
footer). Computer 2 only shows the top banner of the webpage and the rest is
just blank, just invisible, nothing but the banner, nothing to scroll down
either. However, if i do PRINT PREVIEW on Computer 2, i can see the whole
webpage or if i look the source code under View, it shows everything.

I have reinstalled SP2, Security updates, patches, etc on Computer 2 and it
still doesn't show the whole webpage.

So, i look at the version of IE6 on these 2 computers and realize that the
difference might cause the issue. So, how do i get the version of IE6 on
Computer 1 for the Computer 2? OR how to fix this issue?

Thanks for your help.
 
There is no difference in your IE versions, except the install source (the
last bits of the version string).

Four things to try:

1. Clear your TIF and History completely:

2. Check your Cookies folder and delete any cookies that relate to the
sites in question.

3. Check your Hosts file as per this article:

More info on the Hosts file:

4. Got to a Command prompt (Start...Programs...Accessories) and type in:

ipconfig /flushdns

Hit Enter.
 
hi,

Thanks for your help....the culprit is the DPI that should be set to 96
instead of 120.

Well, after trying everything such as reinstall OS, repair IE6, install IE7
, clear cache, temp files, etc, reinstall video driver, verfiy security page
in IE, etc....
