Browser Problem

When I start Internet Explorer 6 and go to my favourites and click the links...sometimes I get that annoying white screen telling me to try the refresh button.Sometimes I have to exit IE and start it again and click the link again before i get access to the sites.
Any Ideas??

 

Try running the Internet Explorer Repair Tool.

 

bluenose12--If this happens only sometimes, it could be your ISP's server being temporarily down or slow. Not much you can do about that. (except complain!! )
But if this happens usually and over a period of days, does this happen only with links from Favourites, or other links such as those from an internet page?
If the latter, more general situation, you might have a look here

I've tried setting my Internet Exploere settings to the default.
Will this make any difference?

BTW Where do I find the Internet Explorer Repair Tool?

 

With 9x and ME, to Control Panel\Add Remove Programs, double click the IE entry, a window will pop up, choose the Repair Option. Reboot when prompted.

With XP, there are a couple ways to do it.

One way to repair Internet Explorer is to have sfc check the system files by clicking on the Start Menu, then Run, and type in:
sfc /scannow

Or

Go to the Run dialog box in either 2000 or XP and type or copy and paste this line of code into the entry field - rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINDOWS\IE Uninstall Log.Txt " . If you are running 2000 and run IE5 then simply replace the IE6 with IE5.

 

Thanks Mark...I will try that.

 

I ran that sfc file check thingy(very technical eh? ).
Is it my imagination?...My Internet sites seem to open faster now.
The sfc check asked for my Win XP disk and it replaced dll files.
Thanks

 

Good to hear. Those files replaced were corrupt.
