Web Site Hangs Indefinately

I uninstalled and reinstalled IE6 using IERadicator. Things are working a
lot better now. Thanks!

Hi,
Did you contact your ISP? I don't know what else to check on your end. It
might be a DNS problem.

It is not responding (hangs indefinitely). I have contacted the
company's
customer support dept, and they have run out of idea's! I am truly
frustrated! (By the way, it works fine with Firefox and Netscape).

I have Windows Millennium 4.90.3000 and I'm using Internet Explorer
6.0.2800.1106IC.
Also, I have a high speed cable modem connection. I'm using a linksys
router
for security.

Here is everything I have tried (so far):

1. Made sure that cookies are enabled.
2. Adjusted the security settings to minimal.
3. Double checked all security settings, cookie settings, and browser
settings.
4. Ran repair and reinstalled browser
5. Cleared Temporary Internet Folder cookies, cache, history
6. Checked for viruses, spy-ware and ad-ware.
7. Completed deleted the Temporary Internet Files folder, and the
History
folder, and Index.dat.
8. Checked Hosts file
9. Added to Trusted Sites.
10. No firewall software installed. I disabled Norton Anti-virus. I
disabled
ad-blocker (google). No help there.

I turned everything off - computer, cable modem, router - for 10
minutes.
No help there.

I have uninstalled and re-installed: SpyBot, Ad-Aware and
SpywareBlaster.
Nothing is running in the background (to my knowledge.)
Suggestions?

version of internet explorer).

Check whether you can access Help & Support and also whether you still
have a *StateMgr entry in MSConfig | Startup. If the *StateMgr entry is
missing this means you no longer benefit from having either system file
protection or system restore available on your system although since you
used Noel's site hopefully everything is present and working correctly.

Funny thing is, though, now when I go to IE Help About Update
Versions it reads: SP1; Q867282; Q891781; This is a customized
version of internet explorer. Is that right?

No. This just means that you have installed service pack 1 and the 867282
and 891781 hotfixes.

Wow... I've posted to this group and cross-posted to other groups,
and from what I have finally come to the conclusion - I don't know
how I ended up with it, but supposedly I have what the WinME Pros
call 'version soup'.

So, Thank you "PA BEAR" for this advice: "MVP Noel Paton has an
excellent page containing instructions on making things right:
http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/ReInIE.htm. "

Life goes on. Thanks again to all for their concern and advice.

No, I do not have *StateMgr entry in MSConfig | Startup.

Is that a problem? Should I create a new entry?

Yes, this is a major problem. You might as well be running Win 98SE if
you don't have that entry present. To fix this and other problems caused
by running IEradicator you need to read al of Noel Paton's web page
(http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/ReInIE.htm) starting at the top and
continuing to the end not just stopping at "Reinstalling IE" but
continuing on through "Cleaning up, and correcting problems" until you
reach the end.

Home User, I concur with Mike M. You really do not want to be running
without SFP and SR.
They are two of the major benefits of WinME, cf. to Win98.

OK. I will follow through on your recommendations, and I will let you know
if I have any more problems. Thanks very much.
