My Internet explorer window closes immedietely after opening some websites

Feb 22, 2004 9:58PM PST

My IE(latest version IE 6) closes if i open some websites like radioshack.com and also it does not play music in some websites.I had enabled the sound settings by going to
internet options--advanced and checked multimedia settings to enable to play sound and video.

I run a compaq computer with 746mhz proccessor with 128mb ram and 20gb hard drive space(14gb unused)

Help is appreciated.

Thanks

have you run Windows Update and downloaded all the critical updates? it sounds to me like you are having problems with a computer system that has crashed before and it has corrupted files. the other possibility is a virus or spyware. you need to check for those first.

Mine does the same thing. Now it has even started to where when I go into my personal homepage, when I go into the message board, and it disappears.

I check for spyware. My anti-virus doesn't show any viruses, but when I run Housecall from Trend Micro, it shows 5, and it says they cannot access them. Four are Java ByTever.A, and one is Java Nocheat.A.

I have been trying to find out if this is my problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you-
Kelly

the only way to know if they are the cause of your problem is to remove them and see what happens. have you tried several spyware removal programs?

I had the same problem with my system - Have been fighting with it for about 2 weeks and finally decided to uninstall all Java programs from the add/remove programs menu...

It worked!! Radioshack.com is loading without a problem, including other websites that I had visited that was doing the same thing.

Hope this helps others....
