on IE6 sp2 going to tools...internet options..privacy..when i move the slider
up or down and then press ok or apply gets frozen
from the task manager i see....not responding....
is there anything i can do??


Use ProcMon to find out what is happening.

Are you running other programs, when you try this?
(such as security programs)
Compare with what happens if *nothing* else is running.

You could go even further and not run IE.
E.g. another way to open the Privacy settings dialog is to Run...

control inetcpl.cpl,,2

As a quick way of preventing things from starting
you could try doing a safe mode boot and holding down a Shift- key.


BTW it may be significant to know if you have anything in the Sites list
and if you have things in the Sites list if they were put there manually
or automatically by various anti-spyware apps.
