Re: Issue with IE 6 on XP Home SP2.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Don,

Thanks for the response. I've gone through everything there to no avail.
Some of the KBs said that there is a fix coming sometime in the near future
for IE, I'm just wondering when that fix/update may be coming out. Also, we
have found that checking the option for "Allow active content to run in files
on My Computer" fixes some problems, but not for everyone. Any other
suggestions?
