IE hangs when viewing a particular website

[Miner At The Dial-A-View]

I have Windows 98 SE and IE 6 (with SP1) and I'm having a problem viewing
a particular website.

When I go to <http://www.cageofmonkeys.co.uk> (yes, it's my blog) the
text appears all messed up and overlapping and usually freezes IE.
Sometimes it completely freezes my PC to the extent that not even ctrl-
alt-del will save me.

I don't think it's my website that's the problem, as none of my other
visitors are having any problems. Plus, the XHTML and CSS both validate
according to W3 standards.

Here are the things I've tried:

- Emptied my temporary internet files (and offline content).
- Deleted the history files.
- Ran the "repair" feature from add/remove programs.

Oh, and the site displays correctly in Netscape 7.

Help, please?

Put it in your Restricted Zone

That didn't do anything. I set the level to "high" and disabled
everything - but no change.

It works on my system(IE6SP1 on WinMe) with or without that site in the
Restricted Zone. I now gracefully bow out of the topic. <poof>

See, that's the really odd part. It works on everyone's system *except
mine*.

I have no viruses according to AVG, or any spyware according to AdAware.
I deleted my temporary internet files via ms-dos as well, all to no
avail. It just refuses to load.

Have you perhaps used one of those TweakUI-type utilities that changes your
system default font and icon size size?

Nope, not that I know of.

Java issue?

Tools/internet options/advanced/Microsoft VM
....only tick the JIT compiler box and leave the Java boxes un checked
(default)


Or get the latest version, you java may be corrupt.

Parasite?
IE 6.

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 is with these
tools.
