IE 6 seems to hang on only a few web sites

[bagarow]

Hi

I am using IE6 SP2 with 128bit cipher strength. I can access most web
sites just fine but accessing a few of them seems to hang. e.g. I can
access Yahoo web site just fine but if I attempt to access
my.yahoo.com, the browser is very slow and it seems to hang most times.
If the my.yahoo.com home page does come up and I try to sign in, most
times, IE seems to hang as well after having accepted the user id and
password. After a while most ti mes, it will display the message "The
page cannot be displayed"

For comparision, I am able to log into Yahoo mail very quickly and
access my mail account.

I have tried turning off the firewall on the machine but that does not
seem to help.

Can anyone offer suggestions of what to try? Is there a way to turn on
"tracing" in the browser to get a detailed set of information on what
the browser is doing, to narrow this down.

Hi Bob,
Try the Follwoing;
Scan for unwanted Malware on your computer and clear your Caches, IE files
and Cookies, then go to Tools >> Internet Options >> Privacy Tap >> Trusted
Sites and assign the web address (my.yahoo.com). The same in the Content TapAlways Allow.
Click OK and Press F5 to refresh the Desktop, then try to connect and try
the web address and see if the problem presist.
Please let us know
