Re: Internet Explorer 6 lockup problems PLEASE HELP!!!!

When you deleted the Temporary Internet Files, did you check the box
labeled "Delete all offline content"? That's the only way to get rid of
everything that might be in there. If you did do that, it may be that
your index.dat file is corrupted. Deleting that file might fix the
problem, but the method for doing so is specific to your version of
Windows, which I don't believe you metioned.
