Freezes

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

About half the time when I open my home page on My Yahoo, using IE 6.0, the
computer freezes. When the page does display fully, everything appears
normal until I enter a news story. There, about 70% of the time it will
freeze. Each time it freezes, on either page, I have noticed a blank area
with a small white box containing a red square and a blue triangle and
circle. Oh, also, when I attempt to install a Microsoft update it will not
complete. The bar either shows 0% installed or 100% installed, but it will
not close or be installed. I have tried everything that I can think of,
including system restore. You are my last hope. Thanks. Mindon

Confirm that you have all the IE 6 Win Updates installed.

If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the Yahoo software.

Jack, thanks for your help. Unfortunately, after downloading the IE6
update, the computer will not install it. The install box says "Installing
Browser Customizations," but it remains at 0% installed. Any suggestions?

Jack, I neglected to mention to you that I did follow your recommendation to
uninstall and reinstall Yahoo.. Still, no MS updates from Microsoft will
install. Thanks again.
