Guest orotun@d.EUS Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 My IE6 has just started playing up - I open an IE window and it'll behave like its partially loaded, but the status bar seems to take forever to change at almost 100% loaded, which stops browsing within the window (bookmarks, etc not responding). FF works fine, its not my homepage, which I've changed to other sites. There's no other connectivity problems. I've scanned my system for viruses with multiple virus scanners / malware programs, with nothing found. Have MS screwed something up with a recent update?

I developed what sounds like exactly the same problem earlier this week. I fixed mine by restoring a backup. If it re-occurs, I'll try your Google Toolbar fix. Wonder what's going on.

Wonder if they installed a 'buggy' toolbar? I think they must have done - I remember now I kept getting the occasional error message concerning a missing or errant DLL file related to the Google Tool Bar. I should have remembered that earlier...it was definitely a Google thing...which is a first. They must be slipping...
Guest Sid Elbow Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Re: IE6 in Win2k Didn't know that. It (the problem) hasn't happened again since I restored the backup. perhaps, like you say, it was a buggy update and they've fixed it. someone watching wrote: > Sid, google automatically updates its toolbar ... without you knowing > about it.
