Which version of wininet.dll do you have?
E.g. are you using the latest SP2QFE version?

Wininet.dll

SP2QFE

KB818506 indicates that its issue should be fixed in XPsp2
but if it wasn't and was only fixed after RTM or if there was
a regression in the SP2GDR version that could perhaps
account for your observations.

I was not able to get that far. I suspect a problem in the AdxMenu.htc

E.g., I got several script errors, the most serious being
"Exception thrown and not caught"

Also it took an extraordinarily long time for the last one to appear.
While that was happening my IE window was invisible.

FWIW this was with IE7b1 on XPsp2.
