Don`t worry, it`s not just you! It sounds all too familiar to what I experienced after installing IE6, especially the bit about the page not coming up then appearing as soon as you hit stop or refresh.
I asked about it here,

but didn`t get much help.
The only soloution I managed to get was to re-install good old IE5, and no problems since!!
