IE6 does not let me read the NY Times
I just reinstalled windows XP SP2 with IE6.
The internet works fine on all websites, except when I try to access the New York Times ( www.nytimes.com ). The site freezes almost immediately and prevents me from accessing links from this site. I have set Security and Privacy at default levels (medium). Pentium 4, 1.6 gb, 512 MB memory. Why is only one site on the internet giving me so much trouble? Is their website too complex for IE6? Thanks for any help. Walter |

IE6 does not let me read the NY Times
NYT's is a fairly complex site. The home page places ( or attempts to
place ) at least 6-7 3rd-party cookies. Is your XP fully updated ? also does your setup have add-ons installed such as Sun Java, Shockwave and Flash Players. Many web pages make use of this type of content and pages may not properly display without them. "Walter R." wrote in message ... I just reinstalled windows XP SP2 with IE6.

Walter,
I'm using Win XP Home SP3. I don't have any problem viewing NYT. It worked fine with SP 1 and SP 2 also. So you have a problem. Sorry, but I can't help, though.

Thanks for any help. Walter No, it's not the complexity of the site. Some way, somehow, it's being blocked on you. Any chance you had this problem before the reinstall too? Any error messages? Quote them here. You might try setting it as a "trusted site" Start here if above no help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293402 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239449 http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/Sho...247375#2247375 You might see if any of these help: http://www.nirmaltv.com/2007/08/08/h...aborted-error/ HTH, Twayne |

Why did you reinstall WinXP (SP2)?

IE6 does not let me read the NY Times
A lot of sites are now using new protocols that IE6 may not understand, so
make sure that all updates are installed and if that doesn't fix it then you may need to use IE7 or Firefox 3.0. -- Randem Systems Your Installation Specialist The Top Inno Setup Script Generator http://www.randem.com/innoscript.html http://www.rndem.com/installerproblems.html http://www.randem.com/vistainstalls.html http://www.financialtrainingservices.org "Walter R." wrote in message ...

I read the NYT with an old copy of SeaMonkey (1.1.8) and it works fine so doubt the site requires anything special. |
