I'm having trouble with IE6. The status bar indicates the the page is loading, but it is actually finished. During this time, the window is frozen - can't scroll, click on a link, etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled IE, all to no avail. I have not installed any software, so I can not imagine a conflict. The problem appears to have just cropped up. Any thoughts on what the problem(s) might be.

seems a lot of people are having problems with IE6, have you tried going into control panel + internet options, check on the security & advanced tab each should have a, set to default button, select it on both tabs then reboot & see if that helps.
Also in add/remove programs you could select IE6 a menu with 3 choices will come up you could try each one, suggest you try the fixIE choice first.

The first thing to do, is to clean out your temporary internet files.

As they build up, pages take longer to load.

It also may be a network traffic problem, and the last little byte of the page hasn't loaded.

I'm not sure if this is a universal solution, but this worked for me.

Go to "Tools"
"Internet Options"
"Advanced"
uncheck - Enable Third Party Browser Extensions.

Restart your machine - works like a charm.
