I am having a problem with Internet Explorer 6. About half of the time I go
and click on any of the desktop link, quicklaunch link, or Windows Update
under Start menu IE 6 does not launch at all. The other half of the time it
launches with no problems at all. But the other times it doesn't, I can
click I can double click still nothing. Another thing I have found is when
I do the Three Finger for the shutdown box, I find of course no running
programs but under processes there can be anywhere from ten to fifeteen
iexplorer processes running. Even though I have not even seen one window.
Now and then if I end task all of these processes then IE will launch when
clicked. At least once while I was at least half way though end tasking IE
all of a sudden popped up and fully loaded my home page. I have and
reguraly do clean all cookies, Temp files, run antivirus, spybot, adaware.
I didn't have any problems installing the sp3 update. Any help would be
much appriciated.
