Jul 2006 at 07:07 No probs. with this site, but if I go to the 'other' site, it opens up OK, then I click on the Omega section and IE6 SP2 displays a blank page and reports 'done'. Running Win XP SP2 Home Ed. Any ideas anyone...searched the net and can't find a solution. Sorry if I upset anyone by posting here.

Have you tried updating from MS website?

Both my Pc's have been recieving (both set on auto update) quite a few updates recently in the last few weeks.

I have Xp Pro SP2 and IE6 Sp2 and the 'other' site works fine for me

As TheBoy says try clearing out the cache plus delete all the cookies

You also could try from cmd prompt....ipconfig /flushdns

HTH

Cheers Dave

PS Post if you still have probs...

Firefox is fine - running here, as is the wife. Still got IE available for those quirky MS-only sites (there are some around), but in general, Firefox and Thunderbird work a lot better than MS.

Jul 2006 at 23:21 Firefox is awful, buggy, and insecure. Even compare to IE. If you run alternative operating systems, Firefox may be the best you can get, but under Windows (and this pains me to say it), IE6 is still your best option
