"Something" processing when I "Open in new Window" or do Google search...

[Snorton]

Hey all!

I have a very odd issue with the IE6 installed on my Windows XP Pro
computer...

If I SHIFT-CLICK a link to open it in a new window, the window
appears, but the content area is see through and the page never
acutally loads. The WINDOWS flag just keeps waving away. If I STOP the
browser and hit ENTER on the URL in the address bar, the page loads
fine.

Also, the first time I use IE, the page will load... then just sit
frozen for around 6 seconds or so. The page is USUALLY a Google
search, but since this only happens after starting the PC, I haven't
fiddled enough to nail down the exact behaviour.

The TaskManager doesn't show anything out of the ordinary (except a
bunch of SVCHOST.EXE) ... No Kazaa or ZoneAlarm. I have NAV2003 and
run AdAware occasionally, so I don't think its a trojan, but I can't
say for sure.

Is there any way to see what DLL's that IE (or the system) is
accessing so I can find out what may be happening? Does anyone have
any ideas?

Thanks!

Maybe this might help you with the new windows not loading problem:
1. Quit all programs that are running.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
4. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded"
message, click OK.

If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each of
the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with each of the file
names below):
Shdocvw.dll
Msjava.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Mshtml.dll
Browseui.dll
Shell32.dll (Windows XP and Windows 2000 only)



Hope this helps,

Debbie

Turned out to be ACTXPRXY.DLL... Not sure how it was damaged.
