About half the time I am unable to change the privacy or security setting on
my IE6 (6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-00102) browser. It allows me to
change the slider to the desired settings, but when I click "apply" it just
hangs and I end up ending it, either thru Task Manager or by clicking on the
X on the top right of the Internet Options box and responding to the dialog
box sayinf it is not responding. Either way closes my browser and the
security/privacy changes do not take. They only recourse is to do a reboot
after which the 'apply' button for the security changes will work fine (for a
while). It might work fine for a few hours and then refuse to change again
the same day without shuting down the PC or even closing the browser. I
have not been able to discern any pattern to what causes it to change
behavior. I did all the things MS tells you - run my AdAware and delete any
spyware - disable unidentified browser "add-ons", run Norton on all files,
just today I downloaded and installed MS patches and ran the monthly
malicious code detector. None of this has made any difference. Last
possible piece of missing info is I'm running aZoneAlarm Pro firewall (v 5.5)
and have been for several years. Any suggestions?
