IE6 - error saving web page

For some websites only (and not every page on them), I can only save the web
page as html only (File|Save As -Web Page, HTML only). I can't find anything
in the KB about this. The KB article 823057 (registry settings /
restrictions) doesn't help me.

Does anyone have a fix, or an explanation? I'm running Win2K, IE6, all SPs
patches etc.
 
Can this information help?

This Web Page Could Not Be Saved
When you attempt to save a Web page using the Web Page, complete
(*.htm;*.html) or Web Archive, single file (*.mht) options in Internet
Explorer, you may receive the follow error message: Error Saving Web Page.
This Web page could not be saved.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=235589 (i. e. 5, 6. 5/10/2003)

The probable cause is that the web page contains a link to a StyleSheet
which resides
on a different server than the one where the page is located. After some
recent
security update (MS02-023 Patch or later), Internet Explorer blocks access
to
StyleSheet code if the code is on a different domain/server.
This is why the page fails to be saved.

For more information about MS02-023, please see:
322928 MS02-023: Patch Available to Disable Frames in the Restricted Sites
Zone
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=322928

The following is an example:
=====================
1. Open the web site in Internet Explorer on a machine
where MS02-023 security patch or later (such as Internet Explorer 6 SP1) is
installed.

2. Select Internet Explorer File menu and select Save.
3. Leave 'Save as Type' to 'Web Page, complete (*.htm,*.html)

Before saving of the web page is complete, and error message appears:
"Error Saving Web Page: The Web page could not be saved to the selected
location".
You can click OK to close the message, but the page is not saved to disk.

If you do the same with for example everything
works perfectly.

ANALYSIS
========
The difference is that postimees.ee uses:
<ink rel="stylesheet"
href="http://194.204.30.64/postimees/styles/postimees.css">
and aflonbadet:
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="TEXT/CSS"
href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sidhuvud/css/files/0,3590,bas,00.css">

194.204.30.64 is a different server than the current web page, while
www.aftonbladet.se is in the same sever.

To resolve the problem, you can inform the web site administrator to change
the StyleSheet location in the website.

Thanks - it appears that I cannot do anything to fix the problem, except ask
the hundreds of websites to chnage their pages!?

The Microsoft article is only partly truthful, I think. I think the real
problem is with ANY inline or embedded components of a wenpage that are on
what the IE browser thinks is another website.

Thanks again for your help.
