Browsing woes

[livinginspain]

Using IE 6.0.2800.
When browsing, I click on a page to view a link, and the new frame appears but refuses to fill in ! No matter how long I wait, nothing, only the empty frame with the hourglass icon.
In order to view that particular page, I have to copy/paste the address into the address bar of the browser !

Any ideas ?

***Many thanks for the idea of downloading the new Java to sort out the proplem of the annoying 'runtime error' which was beginning to become troublesome ! ***

You could try relaxing your security setting and - temporarily - turning off any software firewall. If the firewall is the culprit, you can configure it to be less paranoid.

very prompt service ! Thank you indeed, however, that has not done the trick.
Another clue perhaps, I note that the new window opened doesn't have an address ! Very odd indeed !

lis - I sometimes get links that fail, and it can normally be sorted by right-click/open in new window. Not sure why that works or why it went wrong in the first place.

Still no joy.
If I am on my home banking page for example and click to perform some function, the new window opens, blank( without even and address in the panel , egg timer, then nothing...........
Can't pay any bills ! Terrible !

livinginspain,

There was a Thread (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125123) about secure websites - I assume your bank is a secure website - not working with SP something or other for IE 6 from MS.

Check that you have all the most recent patches applied from the MS update site.

livinginspain,

Is this problem with more than one site that you can duplicate?

Take Care,

Richard

Yes, this problem occurs in if I click on any site with a link to another page. When the new window opens, there is no address showing in the address panel.
I've now tried all the suggestions offered to no avail.

livinginspain,

If you are running WinXP you could use the WinXP CD to do a repair. That should solve the problem.

Take Care,

Richard

Thanks all, your suggestions appreciated, but no joy.

However, in the event that this situation happens on your machine,
this worked for me

"From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message:

DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.
