I seem to have a problem with ie 6 (on xp pro), I can get online by typing the address in "my computer" and it will work fine, but when I try to open ie it takes the processor to 100% and takes forever to load and when it does (after about 5 minutes) when you put in an address it locks up again, Ive tried everything in the microsoft knowledge base on re-installing ie6 but nothing has worked I even did a windows xp repair still no luck, I think one of the programs in installed the intergrates with ie screwed it up, but every time I try to install it it just leaves everything as it was (ie the google toolbar and norton intergration are always there), I have also tried disabling 3rd prty software intergration in "advanced" to no avail
and ideas?
thanks!

Well, what about uninstalling the 3rd party software?

or...

Format? o_O And then install one prog at a time and see if works...

That's what I generally do if xp goes weird and I format at least every 3 months =)

Its not a 3rd party problem because I disabled them, and reformating is not an option

Because IE is integrated with the OS you can't uninstall. And since you said formatting is not an option then I suggest trying out one of these superior browsers.

Mozilla - or a variant thereof
Opera - my personal prefence

IE Work Around

I have a client that could get email but she kept getting "fatal exceptions," when trying to launch IE 6.
Heres how we fixed it:
As long as you can establish an internet connection, go here and download this 479kb file.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...1/download.asp

Double click on the file while still connected, and it will start the install of IE 6 Sp-1. (about an hour @ 56Kps)
After the download Outlook Express quit working, but then going into OE > accounts > properties > and resetting her email defaults got that running too.

This file is small enough to get on a floppy disk from a friend, but your modem will have to be connected to your Isp for the install to go forward.
Let me know if this helps.
Best,
Treeman

Most of those mice come with a helper program to assign actions to the buttons. I find it's just as easy to use the built in mouse action.

To go back click and hold right mouse button then click left mouse button

To go forward click and hold left mouse button then click right mouse button

Nuke 'EM

Can you go to the add remove programs and uninstall the Google and the anti-virus application?
Download a trial version of Pest Patrol and scan the drive.
That's what I'd try.

The problem is in Norton. I have posted about this problem for months, but haven't found an answer yet. When I uninstalled Norton I didn't have the problem, but disabling it doesn't help because certain elements of it load anyway and cause the problem. Mozila doesn't have nearly as much of a conflict problem as IE, but it still happens. Opera does it just as much as IE, but they are built on the same engine. There has to be something else related, but I haven't found it yet. Not everyone I know of who has the Sager 8887 and both of these programs has the same problem, but some do. There is another factor out there somewhere. My desktop with the same programs on it doesn't do it. My 8887 didn't start it until I enabled hyperthreading. I finally got it under control enough to quit working on it and hope for an upgrade fix. It was taking up almost 100% of my computer time to work on it.

Ok lets try couple things.

Create a new user account and log in with it and see if you have the same problem. Since some IE settings are profile specific this may remedy the problem.

After doing some googling here's a couple other things you can try:

Quote:

"The DNS Client service isn't necessary unless you're on a Windows
2000 network.
I think what's happening here is that when it takes longer than a few
seconds to resolve a DNS name, Windows XP marks that DNS server as
unavailable. After a few timeouts you can't go anywhere. I had this
problem with two WinXP machines at home - and disabling the DNS Client
service solved the problem. It's required if you're participating in
an Active Directory environment - but apparently you're not so you can
feel free to disable the service.

Last, slip in a Windows XP CD and try scanning system files. Stick in
the CD, exit the installer that comes up and run
"sfc /scannow"

for re-installing XP try here

My best guess so far has been that it has something to do with the script blocking part of it. When I totally shut down script blocking, I didn't have any trouble. However, I had some spy software make it into my machine that could have just as easily been a new worm or trojan. I found it through other security software reporting it to me. Almost all of the problems I have experienced have been related to pictures or video. I steer away from sights that are heavy in them. If I'm not running a browser, I never have trouble with them. I think it is related to a combination problem with the way the browser handles something, Norton, hyper-threading and some other process running on the machine. Other people who are running Norton aren't having this same problem, so I can't say that it is a simple combination that is causing it. I looked into it for so long that I gave up. I just ran out of ideas. Now I have to figure out why my desktop keeps wiping out my printer driver. Today it just uninstalled it on it's own. Sometimes I'd like to microsoft and Bill.

i'm far from a windows expert...but it seems that IE can indeed be completely uninstalled using the "Add/Remove Windows Components" feature.

Norton does this all the time on lots of compuiters, its well known for it, i had to stop using it eventually for the problems with their event server and general incompatibilities as well as the 60%+ slowdown in file operations, in some cases 300%
