Re: IE6 hangs. Finds site and sticks at waiting for a reply....



Hi Mudma :-)

ok...let's try the following and see if it helps:

First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

If you have any 3rd party toolbars such as Google or Yahoo, disable them.

also..

Then try these two commands
o to Start> Run and enter the two commands one at a time (or cust and
paste), and hit enter after each one. You should see a message that they
have registerd successfully after each one.

regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll

Then, refresh your scripting engine. Go to

for the appropriate download.

Verify that Internet Explorer Is Using 128-Bit Encryption
To check:
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Help menu, click About Internet Explorer
2. The level of encryption on your computer appears next to the words Cipher
Strength. Verify that the Cipher Strength value appears as 128-bit
If the Cipher Strength is anything less then 128-bit, download the Internet
Explorer High Encryption Pack to your computer's hard disk, and then install
it.

If you have used SpywareBlaster make sure the Flash Killer is not enabled.

Jan,

Unfortunately the problem prevents me from going to any website as
every website sticks at the waiting for reply... screen. As for latest
drivers I went to the nvidia website on my laptop got them and
installed them. No success...

Thanks
