Pages Opening to Source View in IE6

Certain pages, TVGuide for one, are opening to the source code view, rather than the normal web page. This happens in any IE type browser (IE6, Fast Browser, etc.)

This started happening after I installed the latest Opera, but I'm not sure that there is a direct connection.

Opera opens the pages correctly.

Any ideas?

Peculiar indeed! Try some run of the mill stuff first ... clear your cache, restore IE's defaults (Tools - Internet Options - Security and Tools - Internet Options - Advanced), visit this page and deal with anything found, disable any firewall or content filter and, finally, if none of that helps, run a repair.

Good luck!

 

Well, I tried everything you suggested, Brett. I also tried uninstalling Opera (I was reaching) just in case.

No go.

The reinstallation of IE6 didn't complete because I ran into the Logo Testing problem. I couldn't find an answer for that in this forum, and the Microsoft link to the solution doesn't work anymore.

I did try this instead:
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\ie.inf

Still nothing.

It's no big deal, I've switched to Opera. It seems to be a better browser, and didn't create any Logo Testing problems on install. Does this mean that Microsoft trusts Opera more than IE6?

Thanks for the help. It should have worked.
