Thanks Brian, this isn't going to be easy or pretty at all. I've done
all the advise from everybody in this thread except Gary's 53 meg
download of Sun Java 6. In the mean time I've installed IE 6.00 SP1,
Sun Java 1.5.0_11. I've uninstalled MSJVM, SunJava 1.5.0_07 and retro
graded WSH back to 5.6.6625 by customizing the installation inf file
for scr56en.cab for IE6. All these in some form or another done so
attempts could be made to find out what is the one thing that makes a
difference and there is none so that you would notice. None.

~At the moment I'm still at..... jre-1_5_0_10-windows-i586-p.exe
....anyway Lee they are only 16 mb - you don't need the developers 50 mb version in any way, wth!

~Also running v5,6,0,8825 MS version of scr56en.exe ..iow, I don't understand why

Sometimes I can get to WinUP, sometimes when I get to WinUP it shows
text based site and/or fully/partial standard site graphics. If I

of the Catalog site, then I stand a much better chance of not getting
the V6 - kiss off page in the new IE window. But I also can get text

based Catalog page or rarely a normal looking Catalog page. BUT it
doesn't work, when I click on 'Additional Windows Updates (1)' which I
know to contain only Games.cab file, the text for it won't show - All
I get is a non-working Read More link and the Add button.

I've noticed lately that sometimes I get the same sort of text based

Once in a while I get that too..

looking knowledge base articles. I had a week of troubles when the V4
WinUp and Catalog site first became active but none at all since then
until I tried it again yesterday. No solution for now I guess, thanks
again.

I wish I could see what you were getting since it's hard to visualize what
you are seeing, but I know one thing for sure, you need to have a few
things in your Internet Zone Options set right or it won't work.

IE6 - One thing is slide your cookies slide bar down to medium, and next check to
make sure you also have each one of these options set Enabled ! ..or it won't work right!
