Bizarre Problem... no one can figure out so far...

[melissa]

Somehow my computer is loading webpages differently than
all my coworkers' computers are, even though we are
running the same brower version, same OS, on the same
network, going through same firewall, etc.
By "differently"... it almost appears as though my
computer is getting older versions of the same website.
For instance, the website where I first noticed the
problem is www.mainetoday.com... on the left,
under "Travel," I only see 2 links. On all my coworkers'
machines, there are 4. There are also little
discrepancies throughout the site, more missing links
here and there, and one page I found where ALL the
pictures are missing (not just the little "x" placeholder
icon... it's just all blank). SO strange!

THINGS I TRIED THAT DIDN'T WORK:
Obviously, I tried hitting "refresh" a bunch, nothing. I
also deleted all temporary internet files/cookies and
deleted the history with no results. Then I tried using
Netscape Navigator instead of IE... and I got the EXACT
same problems... so I guess it's NOT the browser's fault,
it's something on my computer... but I didn't know where
else to post this question.

THANKS for any help you can provide!!!

Look in View - Source. Is the following script on the
webpage:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</script>

This is affecting my pages also. I don't know why.

If all is well then get the latest Script engine.

Microsoft's Scripting download
Get the latest. Two download versions are available for Windows Script 5.6.
The first version requires Windows 2000, XP; the second version requires
Microsoft Windows 98, Millenium Edition (Me), or NT 4.0.
Choose the download appropriate for your operating system.

Also to you use pop up or security software that the others are not using?

A quick fix to that problem is to go to view - encoding and switch it to western european windows but you'll have to do it everytime you open a new page

I have found that if you uninstall ie6 and then install ie5.5 then the issue is fixed.
