Internet Explorer issue with W2K Pro

[Guest]

I have one user with a home computer running W2K Pro and IE 6.0.x.

The user can open IE and browse the internet. However, if a website is
opened and then anything within the website is opened, IE locks up, crashes
and closes and the internet provider's splash screen pops up.

I have done all the usual maintenance. Updated Windows, emptied all temp
and cookie folders, cleared startup, deleted history. Internet permissions
look correct.

Any suggestions about what is happening and how to fix it?

try running a full chkdsk /f on your hard dive. I've had similar happen when
there's been some corruption

I will try chkdsk /f late today. Thank you for the lead.

Hi Steve,

If the problem is only occuring to this one user you could try recreating
the user profile.
Log on as administrator, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings, and rename
the user folder. A new profile will be created when the log in next.

I've seen problems in IE caused by corrupted video drivers - apparently
video drivers had been updated but old drivers were not removed properly in
the update process.
I ran IE via / through this to identified the problem/faulting module

I've used depends.exe before but never tried running an EXE through it.
Great tip DL!
