IE6 can't browse certain pages?

H3LL5P4WN · 18-September-04, 11:03 AM

Here's one for you guys.

My girlfriend was having amongst other issues, a problem where she was unable to browse certain websites, such as www.mychemicalromance.com or www.warnerreprise.com . So I backed up her user data, blew her system away, and reininstalled XP Pro SP1, and IE6.

Now, she still can't get to those same webpages... I did copy all of her user data back over, so I wonder if it was a setting in there and I'd have to delete and recreate her local user profile.

Using a different browser is out of the question, because she doesn't like any flavors of Mozilla.

Any ideas?

Avant Browser is IE-based and still has tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking.

You may want to also check out Maxthon. It was called MyIE2 and it supports all the cool stuff like tabbed browsing and pop-up and ad blocking.
