"Back" shows HTML code instead of page in some cases

On some pages, when I do a "Back" action,
I get the HTML for the page, instead of the page.

I need to refresh to see the page.

Any thoughts?
 
"Tools, Internet Options/Security/Custom Levels" "Allow META Refresh" must
be Enabled

Could a popup killer or some security software be the cause?

When it happen do your see the complete HTML page from <HTML> to </HTML>?

It is.

Not using any. Turned off the built-in one.

Beginning line of offending page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

Ending line:
 
In my opinion the !doctype should be after <head>

Like this....
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<!doctype html public "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

Paste and copy the html code to Notepad.
Move the doctype below <head> save the file with html extension.
Open it.

But the problem may occur only on a refresh or with the back button.
The owner of the site should be informed if at all possible.

I thought as well of an authoring mistake...

But here's the interesting thing about that-
if I roll across the room and view the same page
in the same way on my old W98SE box running
5.5 SP2, it works fine...
