Regards, Dennis Appelboom marviQ -----Original Message----- From: Dave Nelson [mailto:David.Nelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: donderdag 25 september 2003 14:15 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Strange Problem with Windows Explorer and IE This is *REALLY* weird and I haven't been able to find anything out there that discusses this problem. I have several Windows 2000 SP3 servers with IE6.1 installed. When I open Windows Explorer, I get the list of available drives in the left-side pane, but the right side never shows. The globe in the upper-right corner spins and spins, but never shows anything on the right side. If I hit F5 to refresh, the list is displayed immediately. Incredibly annoying.... Then to make things interesting, surfing web pages (i.e., Windows Update) is a challenge. When I type a URL into IE, the globe spins and spins and never displays anything. I hit F5, but nothing happens. If I resize the window ever so slightly, the page is displayed. HELP! Either my server or I are going insane! :) Thanks! - Dave David J.
