IE 6 issue

[pokefan]

All- Recently, I had problems with Zone Alarm and have had to uninstall and
re-install Zone Alarm. Unfortunately, after Zone Alarm caused issues, other
issues started occurring on my PC. For example, Norton Anti-virus became
corrupt, IE stopped working, etc. Now that I have cleaned up Zone Alarm, I
can use Outlook Express, but IE is still having issues. I am able to type a
link into the "Address" line and that web page will come up. One issue is
that I cannot navigate to other pages from that page and it is almost like IE
locks up. Also, when I attempt to go to one of my "Favorites", a window pops
up and asks me if I want to open the downloaded file. I am assuming that IE
is trying to download and open the URL. Has anyone experienced this, or do
you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Try repairing IE6. Do this using Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs and
highlight Microsoft Internet Explorer, click Add/Remove and then on the
next screen select "Repair Internet Explorer" and then OK.

If you don't have an entry for Microsoft Internet Explorer but rather it
reads something like Internet Explorer Q?????? don't worry. This is
because you have installed a cumulative update for Internet Explorer. You
will need to uninstall the update, then go back into Add/Remove Programs,
look again for Microsoft Internet Explorer, repair it and then reinstall
the latest cumulative update.
