IE6 SP1 Hangs up in graphic intensive applications

[Joe Rubinsztain]

Hi All,
We are developing an ASP.NET page that contains a fair amount of GIF files
to emulate tabs, but after installing SP1 this page hangs up VERY
frequently. If we turn off the "Show Pictures" checkbox in the advaced
settings for IE while the page is hung up, it immediately continues to
download with no further problems.

We tried all the solutions posted in this board (renaming HOSTS to OLDHOSTS,
reviewing registry keys and checking IE settings) but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be greately appreciated.

Joe

Are the image files cached? What happens if you change your cache
checking option to Never? (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,N)


Are you using HTTP 1.1 protocol?

Check to see if the number of connections is a factor.
E.g. use netstat -a

This may give you something to play with:
