I've experienced this too. It most often happens when IE5.0 is
installed (from a clean os-install) and you go to windowsupdate and
apply all patches there. IE doesn't like this at all. I solved this
by uninstalling IE6. Apply all patches for IE up to IE 5.5 and
*then* install IE 6 sp1 with a following patching from
windowsupdate again.
Tedious, bet it works.
HTH.

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! :)

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know,
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
