IE6 Blank Subject Line Fix
Microsoft has released an update (thankfully) that fixes this problem.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download
/preview/ie6/ie6update.asp

This is what you had to do before the fix was available (saved for posterity's sake)

Replace the version of mlang.dll installed by IE6 with the version provided with your last copy of Internet Explorer.

Search ...\windows update setup files for files *containing text* mlang.dll - leave the file name area blank. This will show you what cabinet file contains the file in question - point System File Checker to that folder. The restore location is ...\windows\system.

Mlang.dll could be in any of these *.cab files

iemil_2.cab
iew2k_1.cab
ient_3.cab
ie_3.cab

Note: The IE6 public preview has been refreshed and is now V.2479. It is recommended that you download and install this refresh (after uninstalling the old beta). It contains several bug fixes and the cookie options are much more complete.

Do you only get a blank page when you start Internet Explorer? Or, ar eyou also unable to visit web sites and view their content?

If it is the former, then you may have set the default home page to be blank. To change this, click on Tools -> Internet Options -> General Tab. Under the Home Page area, type in the url you would like to see when you start Internet Explorer and then click OK.

Not sure about NT, but I have seen numerous IE6 problems on W98 systems.

I recommend that you drop back to IE 5.5, or switch to an alternate browser such as Mozilla.

I no longer install IE 6 on W98 systems because of the system slowdown problems, and memory leaks that crop up.
