Here's what I learned so far from the technical side:

IE IGNORES the content type sent by the server (using HTTP 1.1). It actually reads the first 256 bytes and guesses the file type from that. If the content is HTML, it then tries to find the encoding, and often it guesses WRONG.

Apparently, IE6 assumes that all text streams are now in Unicode instead of regular Windows ANSI, and no amount of programming will convince it otherwise. I tried to look for a way to simply DELETE "Western European (ISO)" from the menu choice, but it's NOT in the registry any where. I even tried UNinstalling my Chinese browser support, no joy.

Turning off http1.1 support helped in some cases, but Windowsupdate itself still doesn't work. After a few bits of fidgeting, I got the catalog to come up, but no "download" button at all, even though I have selected one of the critical updates. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-4009827 Thu, 01 Aug 2002 20:07:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3988340
Also, checked out the KB site... Useful, but still no joy.

Can you think of any changes--Hardware--Software--that you made about the time this started happening? If you can..that may be the first place to start troubleshooting.

that's what i did i started doing since i could not go to www.cbs.com or realplayer.com. my IE6 would shut down no reason so i started to shut program's down like firewall's etc?...before i could go to them site's then 1 day like him it stoped?
and guess what it was my firewall...

I tried messing a bit with the registry to try to trick IE into defaulting to Western Euro (Win) but no joy so far. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3980707 Tue, 30 Jul 2002 03:42:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3980611
Tried from within IE, from Start Menu, just typing in the URL in address bar. Same thing.

I can confirm that if I change the "encoding" to Western European (Windows), the pictures show up. Somehow, the pages default to Western European (ISO), even those inside the frames. I can't get the auto-select to work right. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3980611 Tue, 30 Jul 2002 03:15:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3980075
I would recommend a repair installation, since this is not the only site you get these problems with.

Try opening your browser window/view/internet options/delete files/ok

Then keep browser window open, view/internet options/temporary internet options/settings -- make sure "never" isn't checked.

WindowsUpdate first loads properly, then it does some sort of metarefresh to load the lower frame, and then all the pictures disappeared. Weird, heh?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3978104 Mon, 29 Jul 2002 22:00:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3977569
I think you guys slightly misunderstood my problem, so let me try again.

I select Windows update from my start menu.

IE pops up, tries to load windowsupdate.microsoft.com

I get a blank top bar (it SHOULD have said "Windows Update"), I get a blank menu bar going across that says search, write us, support, windows sites. Then to the right, I get two more "blank spots".

Then I see the left bar, first is windows update homepage, then product updates, but NO ICON. Support Information, again, no icon. And still no icon in "microsoft windows family and Microsoft office product updates.

And of course, NOTHING in the main window. Just... NOTHING.

This is with NAV disabled AND site set to TRUSTED. I've disabled PGP as well (even though it should not have interfered). I have no other security software loaded. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3977569 Mon, 29 Jul 2002 21:10:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3976977 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3976977 Mon, 29 Jul 2002 20:14:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3972843 1. Shut down your AV and any security type programs, set them not to start on re-boot, and then re-boot(AV etc. may not be shutting down completely). That site is very sensitive.
2. Add the site to your trusted sites under the security tab in IE. Un-tick require secure server(on the bottom)Set the Zone to the default level.
3. Find your "downloaded program files" folder, and delete a control titled CV3(it might be corrupted). It's the activex control for that site. When you go there, it will see that it's not there, and ask you to download a new one.
Let us know how you made out. Good luck.

I don't know which update it was trying to install because I can't see it! :-/ I am pretty sure I already have the May update, so it has be after that...

Sometimes, I was able to get that "Please wait, scanning for updates" pop-up, but nothing happens after that.

I've tried both NAV on or off. No effect.

Would having PGPFree installed affect this? (It didn't before)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3963818 Sun, 28 Jul 2002 13:40:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3961538
Any chance your antivirus is interfering? I suspect your anti-virus software (or firewall) is the trouble with your mention of "scanning pop-up".

Try downloading, save to desktop. Sign off your connection (dsl, cable or dial up), disable firewall (if you have one) AND disable anti-virus. Then try install by opening the new desktop icon, & reboot if prompted. (Should this fail, disable anti-virus and download -- but, make sure you trust the source.)

Bring firewall and anti-virus back up. Then, connect again.

I tried to load Windowsupdate the other day for a critical update, and the site will NOT come up. It loads and stops. I don't see any of the menus. Sometimes I get that "scanning" popup, but nothing happens after that.

I checked my security settings (medium, tried medium-low), my file association, etc. All look okay.

I am NOT running a firewall, just NAV.

I don't recall any recent changes to the system.

I've tried reinstalling and repairing IE6, no effect.

I can't even get the MS support site to open up correctly (and going there without IE is pointless).

Any ideas on what I should try next? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Whats-wrong-with-my-IE6-3961432 Sun, 28 Jul 2002 03:10:52 EDT
