on-line registration problem

[edward]

I am a student at OCAD and we have an on-line registration
system. It was working fine before I installed
Explorer6. Now I can not log in the system anymore from
my computer, but there is nothing wrong with their site
because I can register from another computer. I keep
reciving a message: This page cannot be displayed:
HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error Internet
Information Services
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8) Object
required: 'Session(...)'
/liveasp/ocad/lang1/LOGONIspecView.asp,line 3
Browser Type: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 5.0;
Windows 98)
Page: GET /liveasp/oad/lang1/LOGONIspecView.asp etc.
I don't know what to do. PLEASE HELP!

That's an unusually complete error message.
Since they have highlighted your User-Agent string in it
I would wonder if the User-Agent the other machines
you can use are different. (E.g. not AOL)

What do you see if you enter this in an IE Address bar on each?

javascript:navigator.userAgent

(the property name is case sensitive; so notice that uppercase A.)


However, what is more important about the User-Agent string
is whether it reaches its destination. Some network security products
may modify it; so it is also useful to compare what a remote site claims
to actually see, with what the above IE window showed you.

Steve Gibson's ShieldsUP! site has one such remote service.
