Don-

Thank you much for the input.

I tested for Java, and found none! I think in the process
of 'reinstalling' IE, the new version did not include JVM
due to the ongoing Sun/MS crap.

So I installed Sun's Java, and all worked great. Until...

I turned on AdSubtract again (I had shut it down for the
install). So with AdSubtract off, CNN and ESPN load and
seem to do fine. But with it back on, I get weirdness:

The same symptoms as before.

When I try to run the Java Tester, which worked after I
installed Sun Java, IE 6 just completely closes. No
crash, just closes.

??

Appreciate further info. Do I need to reconfigure a
proxy, or something similar.
