Hello,
I'm using XP Home, IE 6 with all the latest service packs on a DSL
connection with a relatively new PC. IE 6 is automatically refreshing which
presents a problem. Say I'm using MSN Mail and typing an email. Right in
the middle of typing the email message the browser refreshes erasing all I've
typed.

Any advice? This is such a PAIN!

Since when has IE6 had a function called auto refresh? I can't find it
anywhere.

1) Please tell your settings; I guess you have as about everyone
(me included) the following settings:

IE \Tools \Internet Options \General
\Temporary Internet files \Settings
\Check for newer versions of stored pages:

* Never

2) Please report the exact URL where this happens; polite and
well handled sites don't violate your property or your
settings.

3) I agree that the main fault comes from MS IE:
- if user wants the page to refresh automatically, he has
chosen "* Automatically" in the settings above;
- if user has chosen "* Never", then it is a major fault
from Microsoft to let the browser accept violating orders
from a visited site.

Thanks Michel,
I will try the "never" option, but it is not ideal in that I will have to
automatically refresh when I enter a site. I tried the "every visit to the
page" command but it did not solve the issue. Interestingly, I use
"automatically" on my work PC and I do not have this problem.

On a second note, I reinstalled XP HOme and that did not solve this issue
either.

- Please can you tell the site that refreshes inappropriately (useful for everyone to know *before* losing a carefully written
post... ;-) ).

- Your work PC may be behind a proxy that protects you from some behaviors, like the ones who refresh you unduly.

- I think reinstalling XP was unnecessary hurdle in that case.

Hi STLRON :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>under Browsing
UNcheck META REFRESH if it is checked.

also check..

Uncheck the "Automatically search for network folders and printers" item in:
Tools/Folder Options/View/Advanced Settings

Hope this helps :-)

Hi Michel,
This happens on any site, even this one we are sharing. Hotmail is another
case where this happens. In fact it has happened twice while writing this
reply.

Yes, reinstalling XP was not necessary... and a pain! ;-)

Thanks.

Thanks Jan,
I reset the Folder options advice you gave me, and I'll reboot just to make
sure it takes effect. I could not locate the Meta Refresh item in the
Browsing section you mentioned. Can you please verify that was the right
locaion (tools/internet options/ advanced)?

Thanks so much for trying to help me!!! ;-)

Hi Jerry,
I was referring to Tools/ Internet Options / General then in the Settings
button.

Thanks.
