The timing issue (about an hour) made it sound like a cache issue, but maybe
not.
Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions."
That's a diagnostic tool- you should not have to leave extensions disabled.
If that helps, you have a troublesome browser add-on, toolbar, etc.
installed. You'll have to disable or uninstall add-ons until you find the
troublesome one.
Has the machine been checked for malware? (Adware, spyware, trojans,
hijackers, etc.)

maineman said:Hi Don,
Thanks for the response.
I ran Adaware, Spybot and Windows Defender and only found 7 tracking cookies.
I disabled the 3rd party extensions (google toolbar) and no luck. The lack
of response comes after the computer is idle for a while and I try to refresh
a site.
I was hoping I could remove IE 6 and re-install it(or repair if that is an
option).
The problem is where can I find IE 6 as it has been removed from the
Microsoft site.
