web site troubles

Hello there, I am not sure if this is an IE problem or
not, but as of late,Windows Media Player will not allow me
to back out of a site after viewing through media player.
I have to exit the site totally and then open IE(ver 6)
again to scroll the rest of the site. This problem happens
with MSNBC, google news canada, and a few others. Could
the problem be with IE? I do have the latest version and
update regularly.
Thanks for any info.

Perhaps post one of the sites in question. I have a vague recollection =
of two things...

(1) Do you have a HOSTS file, such as...?...
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
.... Then, it may be blocking the Back key. See that URL for an =
explanation why & how to determine which site is causing it. To =
temporarily disable the
HOSTS file...

(a) "START button, Find, F/F, HOSTS".
(b) You may get 3 or 4 them. LOOK for the one that is just "HOSTS", with
NO file type such as ".sam".
(c) R-Clk it, select Rename, & name it "xHOSTS". There is no need to
reboot.

Does the site work now? Fine. Rename it back afterwards, as I do.

(2) There was an optional MS update that spoke of something like that. =
Something about "sound", actually. So...

(a) "START button, Windows Update".
(b) Click to do the scan.
(c) I guess, take any criticals it shows.
(d) NOW, in the left pane, click the suggested/optional/whatever Windows =
98 link. Look for the one mentioning "sound", & read it carefully, like =
I did. (I never took it, though.)

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
