You could try updating your IE to the latest version. Someone PMed me with the same problem, I told him to download the latest IE, and he said it worked after that.

Open IE, click on Help, then About IE. Check your version number. The newest is: 6 SP1.
If yours is older, go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downlo...p1/download.asp (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/download.asp)
and download the latest and install it.
Also, I've merged your two threads, please post only once.
Make sure you have the latest version of ie or patch applied. Try windows update.
