I really hope somebody will be able to help me with theis
problem since it is driving me nuts
A couple of days a go Internet Explorer 6 started to
showing lots of the pictures on different websites as
broken ("X"). I can click on "SHOW PICTURE" and will
actually see the picture. However, my big problem is that
ever since then it takes FOREVER for pages to load and
for links to open. When I download files from websites
(i.e. Microsoft updates I still get 1,500 down on my
Verizon DSL connection)... Does anybody have an idea what
that could be???

I used Windows 2000 with IE 6 up where the problem
started a couple of days ago. Yesterday I did a complete
format and installed Windows XP but still have the same
problem in IE 6...

Thanks in advance for anything that could help!!!

Stefan

Ok, I think one of the problems might have been the
Encoding setting under "view" which wasn't on "Auto".
However, my IE6 (SP1) is still very, very slow... any
thoughts???

Stefan

Did you recently apply any speedup registry tweaks like the kind found
on speedguide.net (or any other type of tweaks)? If so write back and
I will tell you how to fix it. (don't ask how I know).

Stefan,
Full cache? A broadband connection will fill the cache quickly.

Try the quick, easy fix first. Clear the IE cache from IE> Tools> Internet
Options> General> Delete files and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF
folder size to about 50MB and clear it occasionally.

Next, is another program causing this? The following information comes from
Mike Burgess:
- - - -
Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?

Several of these are known to cause problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?]
Reset "Ad Blocking" and "Cookie Control" to "medium"
"Mobile Code Control" = Off

2) Symantec (ISS\NIS)[Enable Browser Privacy - enabled]
Active Content - "Allow All Script To Execute"
Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit encryption
Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.

3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.

4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.

5) Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.

6) Pop-up blockers that are stripping header\url info.

7) WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter

8) Make sure the following entry is not corrupt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32)"

Note: "Win32" = Windows 98\ME
Other versions = (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0

To check your "User Agent":
Paste the below into the Address Bar and view the output:

javascript:navigator.userAgent

[Example WinME output]
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
