(AA, I do remember that I suggested this to you on another occasion and it did not help...) And have you cleared the cache and cookies as TheBoy suggested?

Im up early so.....got time for a post or two Wink

Presumably after you cleared the cache and cookies it asked for you to login again?? or rather it logged you in as guest?

Another thing to try is log onto XP as a different user and then try the other site.....will help to try to see if a 'user' profile problem or an IE problem

Cheers

Since XP SP2, I have had problems with certain sites, shutting IE down as soon as I try to log onto them, I have, on the advice of Mark Jay, unistalled Java, and reinstalled it to no avail.

When I came back from holiday, a couple of weeks ago, I could still log onto the 'Other Site', but as soon as I clicked on the Omea section, all I got was a blank page.

I have searched the web for both problems and nothing seems to cure the problem.

Jul 2006 at 18:33 I’d go with Taxi Driver - create a new user profile on the PC and then see if the problem is related to the Windows installation as a whole (in which case the same problem will occur on the new profile) or is it specific to the profile you were using beforehand (In which case you have a workaround).

Been having a good wander round MS technet this afternoon....looking for a solution.
MS do admit that SP2 on XP and on SP2 on IE6....that they have tightened up security and it has been causing issues viewing some web sites.

I tried engineering the possible causes on my pc to see if i could break it viewing web sites or the vxon one in particular......but no matter what i did to try to break it......it wouldnt stop viewing vxon....but however you could check these settings on IE6

Make sure security under Tools/internet options is set to medium
Also make sure privacy is set to medium too.

Under Tools/Manage addons......make sure all the addons are enabled....not just the loaded ones.....select the all addons used from the drop down menu.

Was suppose to be taking me mum to Gatcombe....then found out at last min its next week not this.....so had planned on doing some gardening instead......what i really did was go buy new PC and mess with that and technet all afternoon Grin

Give it a go.....on IE6 settings not gardening! Grin

Hope it helps

Jul 2006 at 20:25 The 'Other' forum has this problem, it doesn't matter if I use my laptop, desktop or work PC, the pages only half load some of the time. They've had a thread on it, but nothing seems to be done about it.
