Hi,
Try clearing the Temporary Internet Files from Internet Options> General>
etc.
See if you have a troublesome browser extension:
[XP SP2] From IE> Tools> Manage add-ons. Disable non-microsoft add-ons to
see if one of them is the culprit.
[Non SP2] Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third-party browser
extensions." If either of these helps, you still need to find the
troublesome program, BHO or add-on.
Toolbar Cop from
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Toolkit.htm can help identify
and remove add-ons, BHOs, etc.
Disable (for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers,
security, toolbars and other add-ons for IE, anti-virus, etc. Take a look at
any program that might be interfering with IE. You may have to reconfigure,
reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.
* Important... Turn on the Windows Firewall (from Control Panel> Windows
Firewall) before disabling a third-party firewall or security suite.
Hope this helps,
Don
