firstly, IE 6.0 is as buggy as hell with older OS's (even 2K). The easiest waty is to downgrade, I don't know why you would HAVE to use 6.0 but it is irrelevant.

Secondly, do you have any pop-up stoppers or firewalls actuve that would block or restrict needed scripts from running?

Thirdly, download SUN's Java script to replace the MS verion of JVM if installed. MS has finally backed off and Sun is developing the best Java viewers. http://www.sun.com

IE 6 has Privacy Setting on Tools>Internet Settings>Privacy. Try to set it to high. If it does not work, set times.com to Restricted Sited in Security Tab. Maybe you need to combine both solutions.
