Can't view some web sites in IE6, WinXP Pro SP2, shows source

[Steve Silverwood]

I've got a screwy little problem in IE 6 (Windows XP Pro SP2). When I
attempt to go to some sites, I get nothing but HTML source code on the
screen. Other identical systems work fine, but not this one. I thought
it might have been a glitch with Norton Internet Security 2005 (a major
PITA which I have uninstalled), but it still happens.

One of the main sites that is always doing this is
http://support.microsoft.com so I can't even go into the MS Knowledge
Base to search for a solution -- even if I could think of a logical set
of words/phrases to search!

I'm hoping I don't have to do a complete reinstall of Windows XP Pro but
if that's the only solution.... Any and all ideas welcome. Thanks in
advance.

Steve,

Try going to www.java.com and install Sun's java.

Your "Tip #3" is entitled "Internet Explorer won't find any
pages ("Cannot find server" error)," a very different symptom
from the one he describes.

It still applies. But thanks for pointing out the obvious.
