What version of Explorer are you using? (find out from HELP, ABOUT). And what version of windows?

IE 6 includes a repair tool, which can diagnose and fix problems. This tool checks for out of date and corrupt files. It may also replace some shortcuts in the start menu that you previously deleted. Follow these instructions;

1. Click START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL and then go to ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.

2. Select Microsoft IE 6 > ADD/REMOVE

3. Select the option to repair the program and click OK.

4. Reboot the computer when the repair has finished.

This is a total guess but, can you click on Tools > "Reset Web Settings"? (I'm not quite sure what that will do, but it sure seems like it would fix this problem... :D)

Glad I was able to help. After all, a day without darthdarrel on WDWMAGIC is like a day without sunshine and cotton candy!

:D

Looks like I was too late to help, but can I make a suggestion anyway?

www.mozilla.org

This is an open source version of Netscape. It's actually a couple versions ahead of the Netscape browser, and it's faster and more stable (at least for me) than IE 6.
 

Register on WDWMAGIC. This sidebar will go away, and you'll see fewer ads.
