Re: IE 6 starting problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

hello, yeah the only issue I have is with IE. It's very strange a sit seems
to start as them mouse cursor changes to the hour glass for a few secs, it
then starts the process as I can see it in task manager. Then nothing but the
process remains in task manager. Netcaptor however works fine and it uses the
same settings as IE.
