I've done all that, but I would not say it has changed. IE6 still opens correctly sometimes and sometimes it hangs before the home page opens, just a blank page, with nothing in the taskbar at the bottom (where it usually says finding website, weaiting, website found www.xxx etc).
Outlook still freezes when I open emails with graphics, most of the time. However sometimes it works.

Everything else appears to work OK, although Firefox is now sometimes just closing down for no reason. This is new and has only happened over the past two days.

The steps that I am about to suggest involve modifying the registry. Modfying the registry can be dangerous so we will make a backup of the registry first.
Modification of the registry can be EXTREMELY dangerous if you do not know exactly what you are doing so follow the steps that are listed below EXACTLY. if you cannot preform some of these steps or if you have ANY questions please ask BEFORE proceeding.

Backing Up Your Registry

• Download ERUNT
  (ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.)
• Install ERUNT by following the prompts
  (use the default install settings but say no to the portion that asks you to add ERUNT to the start-up folder, if you like you can enable this option later)
• Start ERUNT
  (either by double clicking on the desktop icon or choosing to start the program at the end of the setup)
• Choose a location for the backup
  (the default location is C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT which is acceptable).
• Make sure that at least the first two check boxes are ticked
• Press OK
• Press YES to create the folder.

NEXT

Open Notepad

Click Start >Run type notepad into the run box click OK
Click Format and make certain that Word Wrap is NOT checked.

Copy the text inside of the code box, put your mouse cursor at the very beginning of the text and then hold down the left button and drag your mouse so that all of the text is highlighted. Press Ctrl+C (or right click on the highlighted section and choose 'copy')

Now paste the copied text into the open notepad. To do this click in the blank page so that your cursor is flashing there and press CTRL+V (or right click and choose 'paste')

Note: There must be NO blank lines in front of the pasted text, but ensure that there is a blank line at the end of the text, otherwise the registry merge will not work.

"Content Type"="image/bmp"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg] 
"Content Type"="image/jpeg" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png] 
"Content Type"="image/png"

Now go to File > and click Save As,
From the drop down menu at the top of the box choose Desktop as the location to save this file.
Go down to the File Name box and type in imagefix.reg as the file name, then choose All Files as the save as file type.
Then click the save button.
Once you have clicked the save button, close Notepad.

You should now see a file on your desktop that looks like this:



Locate the imagefix.reg icon on your desktop and double click it, an information box will pop up asking if you want to merge the information in the file into the registry, click YES.

Once this has been done, the information will have merged with your registry so you can delete imagefix.reg from your desktop as you won't be needing it any more.

No luck!!

Did all you said and rebooted the machine.

Nothing has changed.

This is a very weird problem!!

Anything else I can try.

I think I'd like to have a better look at the software you have running.

Please RIGHT-CLICK HERE and Save As (in IE it's "Save Target As", in FF it's "Save Link As") to download Silent Runners.

• Save it to the desktop.
• Run Silent Runner's by doubleclicking the "Silent Runners" icon on your desktop.
• You will receive a prompt:
  
  • Do you want to skip supplementary searches?
    click NO
• If you receive an error just click OK and double-click it to run it again - sometimes it won't run as it's supposed to the first time but will in subsequent runs.
• You will see a text file appear on the desktop - it's not done, let it run (it won't appear to be doing anything!)
• Once you receive the prompt All Done!, open the text file on the desktop, copy that entire log, and paste it here.

*NOTE* If you receive any warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run.

[jimd07]

I had no idea so much was running!!!

Would you happen to know how to disable McAfee's phishing filter?
There seems to be a problem that can be caused when it is activated together with the one included in IE7
Maybe this still llingers on.
If you don't know how, I'll find someone who does.
If you do know, try it and let me know if it makes a difference.

[jimd07]

I am using MacAfee VirusScan Professional 7. I was not aware this had a phishing filter and if it has I don't know how this is controlled. It actively scans all the time and I can switch this off.
The only things I can find are a system scanner, an email scanner and a script stopper.

I thought the phishing filter was in IE7, I have backtracked onto IE6 but there could be remnants of IE7 still about.

Regards

Jim

[Metallica]

Hey Jim,

Sorry it took so long, I couldn't find anyone with McAfee installed that knew how to disable it.
I did find this thread at the McAfee forums.
Can you see if that makes sense?
http://community.mca...ad.php?t=199774

[jimd07]

I have had a good look aroung the MacAfee forums and I can find no reference to phishing filters in the version of VirusScan that I have. I think it pre-dates phishing.
Although I can open IE one time in four or five trys, the main problem is with Outlook where I can only open emails with plain text. I receive many that I cannot open.

Is it worth trying to reinstall XP? I don't know if it will let me do a reinstall of XP without service packs.

[Metallica]

That would not be a very secure solution.
And as long as we don't know the reason it may re-occur.

On the other hand I'm quite at a loss about what else it could be.
You did try and install IE8 right?

[jimd07]

I did try IE8 but I will give it another go.

Jim

[Metallica]

I'm sorry Jim, but I'm out of better ideas.
Keep us posted.

[Dan]

Howdy Jim & Metallica,

I only skimmed through the thread, so if it's already been tried then feel free to ignore this, but how do IE and Outlook function when you restart in Safe Mode with Networking? Do the symptoms persist even when in Safe Mode?

Step 1 - Restart your machine in Safe Mode with Networking:
Please restart the problematic machine in Safe Mode with Networking and then see if the issue(s) persist.
*Note: You will not be able to use a wireless connection while in Safe Mode; please ensure all tests are performed with a wired (Ethernet) connection.

As a side note, it's recommended that you do not browse sites you don't trust while in Safe Mode.

It just seems odd to me; the steps that Metallica had you do really were quite extensive and should have resolved any forms of internal defects within IE/OE, so I'd be inclined to look at external factors (i.e. anti-virus/firewall software) on this one.

Just my two cents
- Dan

[jimd07]

All seems well with things when in safe mode.

I will have a poke around with the firwall and antivirus and see what I can find.

Any tips on what to check?

Thanks

Jim

[Dan]

I think Metallica has pretty good instincts, so I'd be looking at McAfee first. It's possible that it has become corrupt; try uninstalling it and see if the issue(s) persist. If they don't, then you'll know it's something to do with McAfee. You could try re-installing it and seeing if that corrects it; or even try a repair re-install, if that's an option. It may just be that something became corrupt in one of your updates.
