Robert, again thanks for you reply.

I decided to take the easy way and went for the RSS feed link you provided.
That worked just fine.

Just for kicks, I then went to the main page glimmering.stew.com, which
contains a link to the 'reed' page. It also fails when I enter via that
route. So, I suspect something is broken in the glimmering.stew.com's
structure.

Anyway, I got where I want to go. Thanks.

Phil

Not a clear enough symptom description.

Let me take another stab at that.

I paste the link into the address bar and press ENTER. The page appears to
load, that is, I see logos and graphics, etc, that I would expect (although
I've never before visited this page, it seems to contain what I would
expect).

The status bar at the bottom of the page shows "Shortcut to reed"
and the progress bar has moved a bit, but has stopped showing any progress.


Is that dependent on the initial position of your mouse pointer?
E.g. do you see that if you open the page using your keyboard instead
and keep the mouse pointer completely out of the way?



The only portion of the IE screen that seems to be responsive is the very
top (Title bar?). X (close) and - (minimize) are working, although I get "not
responding" when I try to CLOSE. When I move anywhere else in the page I get
the hourglass. I get no dropdown list from the Tools item and none of the
other items on the toolbar are responsive.

Windows Task Manager shows 100% CPU, with 96% in iexplore.exe.

The person who sent me the link says it is a blog. Are there special
requirements for viewing a blog from IE6?


No. However, there is an RSS feed for that page.
You could try accessing it from there instead:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/BuzzingReed


Also, your symptoms might be caused by interfering third-party extensions.
You could try using the Manage Add-ons tool to disable everything except
previously seen extensions from Publisher Microsoft Corporation to see
if your symptoms change. Or to see if that would be the right tack to take
you could disable *all* third-party browser extensions (using that checkbox
in the Advanced tab--Ref. KB298931.)




Again, thanks for your reply. I will try to locate ProcMon and see if that
sheds any additional light.


You might find Fiddler simpler and more useful to try first... ; )


Good luck

Robert
