    Unhappy Internet Explorer 6 problemzz!

    I got the latest version of IE6 and today I wanted to go check my mail in hotmail and it did not work, then I wanted to go on the videotron site to check my bandwidth use but the page did not load properly. Then when I tried both of those stuff using Firefox it worked. Whats wrong with my IE6???

    The first thing you should do is go into Internet Options and make sure the security setting arent set to high.

    Does it give you any error code or something ?

    It simply brings me to this link "http://loginnet.passport.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail&msppjph=1&tw=0&fs=1&fsa=1&fsat=1296000&lc=4105&_lang=EN" when i do www.hotmail.com and then there is just a white screen and it stopped loading. And the security level is set to deffaulf (that means in my cas medium)

    Go to tools - internet options and click 'restore defaults' under the 'advanced' tab. That helped when I had a similar problem.

    Do you have IE Sp1? Try reinstalling IE 6 if nothing else works. Its probably a virus or corrupt file problem.

    Firstly delete your Temp internet files and cookies from IE. Tools > Internet Options.

    Now try the hotmail page.

    If that solution hasn't fixed it try the following:

    Look in the hosts file, located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.Open the file with notepad and delete any reference to hotmail.Save the changes and hit OK.

    This is the default contents of the hosts file:

    Code:
    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    #
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
    #
    # For example:
    #
    #      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
    #       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
    
    127.0.0.1       localhost
    If your contains anything related to hotmail,delete that reference.

    What do you mean "each file".There is only one hosts file.

    Follow my previous instructions.

    Look in the hosts file, located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.Open the file with notepad and delete any reference to hotmail.Save the changes and hit OK.

    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

    No you can leave them.

    Delete your Temp internet files and cookies from IE. Tools > Internet Options.

    Or try what tarun suggested:

    Go to tools - internet options and click 'restore defaults' under the 'advanced' tab.

    Try reinstalling IE 6 if nothing else works.
