I have a similar problem. When I put a active program receiving real time
data in the background and then try to open certain web sites ie CNN or
Seattle times they will not complete opening.
This sounds similar to the Red-X symptom I just saw with Trout's site:

FWIW here is what I wrote about that:

BTW something interesting seems to be happening perhaps as a result
of your marquee scrolling: I consistently got a lot of Red-X for your
buttons with my usual cache checking setting of Every visit...
In order to show them all at the same time I had to switch to Never
and do some refresh commands. Fortunately they are all cacheable
so once they are loaded I can switch back to Every visit...

It's not clear from your description that you really have a problem
that requires fixing. As I indicated it sounds to me more like something
that you need to work around somehow and usually the simplest
workaround for symptoms with known cause is: "Don't do that."
But in case you can get some benefit from a pseudo-repair here is
what I have replied to XP users about that option:
<quote>
Normally (pre-malware) we would suggest an IE Repair.
That option doesn't even exist for most XP users any more
but in case it helps here is what I usually suggest to them
as a simulation. You can find longer lists from others
by searching this newsgroup.
If you installed IE6sp1 before you installed XPsp1 you should try
an IE Repair anyway. E.g. Run... (press Win-R and enter
rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance
Alternatively, I have been suggesting to XP users that they could simulate
the IE Repair that W2K users can do by making a list of all the references
to DllInstall and DllRegisterServer in FixIE.inf
For example, here is the list that W2K use of that file would imply:
(excerpt from previous post)
<excerpt>
regsvr32 /i browseui.dll
regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
regsvr32 mshtmled.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll
What that represents is the set of re-registrations which
FixIE.inf indicates would be done for Base.W2K.AddReg
N.B. that neither mshtmled.dll nor actxprxy.dll have an entry point
called DllInstall and hence the /i option can not be used for them.
Neither msjava.dll nor shell32.dll are referred to by FixIE.inf
but those are two other modules which are often suggested to XP users
as needing re-registration for repairing in various circumstances.
Note that such re-registrations are normally done by an IE Repair
during a boot while nothing is running so at the very least I think
that it would be best to ensure that iexplore.exe is not active in your
task list. (Close all visible IE windows and then check that the
iexplore.exe is not in the list of Processes in Task Manager.
Ctrl-Shift-Esc,Ctrl-Tab,i,i,...)
