Re: IE 6 sp2 - encoding problem

Hi Jan

Thanks for the response. I did everything you mentioned and it still is
doing the same thing. I have Windows XP Pro. Some of the sites I am having
problems with is http://www.weather.com/weather/local/85346 - when I go to
that site, it comes up in a really strange format. When I check the encoding
(View-Encoding), I have it set to Auto Select and it will be on Western
European (ISO) and I manually put it on Western European (Windows) and it
will then come up in the right format. Ebay is another site that it won't
auto detect on. I can do a search but when I try to click on any of the
links, it just hangs....I go up and manually select Western European
(Windows) and it will go in. I tried turning off the Auto Select and just
choosing the Western European (Windows) but I still have the same problem -
it keeps going to the ISO.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Cathlene :-)

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following (for XP) and see if it helps.

Go to Tools>Internet Options>General tab>Accessibilities
Check to be sure there is nothing checked here. For normal viewing, nothing
should be checked.

If no joy....try resetting the Toolbars back to default and see if that
resolves the problem:

Reset Internet Explorer's Toolbar Menu
http://toolbar.google.com/fixmenu

or.....

Recently I have problems loading web pages and have determined that the
encoding isn't automatically detecting. I can manually switch it with
View -
Encoding - and choose the correct one so that the page will view but would
like for it to be automatic again. Checking the auto detect doesn't make a
difference. Would you happen to know of anyplace on windows that I may
have
inadvertently reset something so that the encoding isn't automatic? Any
help
is greatly appreciated.
