IE 6 SP1 - Javascript

[Jane]

With IE 6 SP1, Windows 2000 Pro since March 29 web pages
with javascript are not downloading completely (w/images)--
some "hang." Clicking on Javascript links - no response
i.e. new window does not open, no action whatsover.
Possible DSL or server problems eliminated. Deleting temp
files/cookies has no effect. Only solution so far is
shutting down/restarting computer. Any cause/solution?

Do you check for parasites on occasions?

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

(1)Eliminated spyware, parasites etc as possible causes.

(2) Unchecked "Enable 3rd Party browser extensions" -
After shut down and reboot, Google toolbar no longer on
computer.

Shut down/reboot solves problem temporarily. Will have
to 'browse' the web for awhile to see if problem returns -
if it does, then Google toolbar is not cause.

Thank you.

I have been having similar problems viewing videos such as those on msn.com.
I have:
1. eliminated spyware, etc.
2. unchecked "enable 3rd party browser extensions"
3. rebooted my computer.
This did not solve my problem. Nothing happens when I click on these video
clips.
Anymore suggestions?

Thanks!
