OK, heres a puzzler for everyone!

I have a PC with Win2k and IE6.
Fully patched scanned and clean.

If I come to testmy.net via IE6 The page will display then the IE6 window freezes. I can wait 30 minutes and nothing happens.
Everything - I mean everything - even simple links. If I try to close the window I get the wonderful MS  "Not responding" window. 

So far (please keep in mind I do not do much browsing) this only occurs on testmy.net. and a few other sites.

I have no problems with firefox... 

I have googled the problem and nothing is really helpful.
I have uninstalled every possible "plug in" and "toolbar" (java, google, etc)
I have uninstalled ie6 and reinstalled.
I have uninstalled using Ieradicator and reinstalled
I have scanned using spybot, hijackthis, adaware, AVG, blacklight you name it.
I ran a windows repair.
I have re-registered all the pertinent .dll's (urlmon, etc)

The problem still remains.

Ideas?  ...other than the "Just use Firefox then..."  response?  I do need IE6 to function and it is a convenience thing -  when using IE6 for the IE required sites - sometimes I open testmy.net and of course I get locked up.

I would be almost certain there are some compatibility issues, with an old browser, and the newer scripts.

I have no problem going anywhere on TMN. Then again I just rebooted clean yesterday and I know for sure I have no bugs at all.

Edit: didn't catch the build, sorry!

Yes - cookies and everything.  Even tried renaming my temp files/folders, in case there was disk/file corruption, forcing storage to occur elsewhere.

thanks mud! But I think I found it... Shocked

The one "plugin" that remained after all of this was Skype's IE plugin.
Once I removed that IE6 and testmynet function.... for now.

Try testing again, just to make sure that your issue wasn't related to a recent bug fix I just put in place.
