Hi,



Any help would be appreciated, I'm using Windows XP home edition and 
Internet Explorer 6, the problem is every time I first open up Explorer a 
windows install prompt box appears, once that disappears I can start using 
Explorer.



However if I access a site which has pop up boxes for example, such as a 
calendar on a holiday site the windows install prompt box appears yet again, 
and I have to wait until this has disappeared to carry on, this will keep 
happening each time you access the calendar, I suppose it doesn't remember 
that you have already access this section of a site.



If I try to close this prompt box in the task manager and even by clicking 
on the prompt box, it closes the whole browser.



I have uninstalled IE6 and re-installed but this hasn't fixed it, I have 
also downloaded IE7 and this has still not made any difference, I have now 
put back IE6, and as mentioned earlier the problem is still there.



Any help would be appreciated, as it almost unusable.

Obvious solution.
Use modern browser technology rather than obsolete microsoft rubbish.
(or copycat microsoft rubbish in the form of IE7)

Firefox is far more featureful than IE6 and IE7 is just copying firefox
anyway.

Wouldn't hurt for you to try opera either.

I use Firefox at home and a mixture if Firefox and IE7 at school and
I prefer firefox, but not the upgrade where the little crosses to
close a window are on the tab rather than at the right hand side of
the window that is open (as in v1.5). I keep hitting the cross and
losing the window :o((

Indeed, opera begins configured like that, but you can turn it off in opera.
With opera, when it's turned off, the [x] is back in the top corner.

With firefox when it's turned off only one [x] is active in the active tab,
the other tabs have no [x] until they become active.

(go to about:config, type tab in the filter, it's easy to find)

Opera just wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't like it, found it clunky.
I used Firefox for a long time (through several versions and upgrades)
because I liked the tabs and a few of the add-ons, but it crashed at 
least once a week.

I didn't find either of them particularly faster than Internet Explorer, 
and I love IE7s default uncluttered look. More to the point, it's stable 
for me.

I use Firefox at home and a mixture if Firefox and IE7 at school and
I prefer firefox, but not the upgrade where the little crosses to
close a window are on the tab rather than at the right hand side of
the window that is open (as in v1.5). I keep hitting the cross and
losing the window :o((

Indeed, opera begins configured like that, but you can turn it off in opera.
With opera, when it's turned off, the [x] is back in the top corner.

With firefox when it's turned off only one [x] is active in the active tab,
the other tabs have no [x] until they become active.

(go to about:config, type tab in the filter, it's easy to find)

Opera just wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't like it, found it clunky.
I used Firefox for a long time (through several versions and upgrades)
because I liked the tabs and a few of the add-ons, but it crashed at 
least once a week.

I didn't find either of them particularly faster than Internet Explorer, 
and I love IE7s default uncluttered look. More to the point, it's stable 
for me.

Obvious solution.
Use modern browser technology rather than obsolete microsoft rubbish.
(or copycat microsoft rubbish in the form of IE7)

Firefox is far more featureful than IE6 and IE7 is just copying firefox
anyway.

Wouldn't hurt for you to try opera either.

Indeed, opera begins configured like that, but you can turn it off in opera.
With opera, when it's turned off, the [x] is back in the top corner.

With firefox when it's turned off only one [x] is active in the active tab,
the other tabs have no [x] until they become active.

(go to about:config, type tab in the filter, it's easy to find)

Opera just wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't like it, found it clunky.
I used Firefox for a long time (through several versions and upgrades)
because I liked the tabs and a few of the add-ons, but it crashed at 
least once a week.

I didn't find either of them particularly faster than Internet Explorer, 
and I love IE7s default uncluttered look. More to the point, it's stable 
for me.

Well.  It looks like you need to move to Safari then :)

No. If ever I get fed up of IE7 and want a change I'll consider it.

Obvious solution.
Use modern browser technology rather than obsolete microsoft rubbish.
(or copycat microsoft rubbish in the form of IE7)

Firefox is far more featureful than IE6 and IE7 is just copying firefox
anyway.

Wouldn't hurt for you to try opera either.

I use Firefox at home and a mixture if Firefox and IE7 at school and
I prefer firefox, but not the upgrade where the little crosses to
close a window are on the tab rather than at the right hand side of
the window that is open (as in v1.5). I keep hitting the cross and
losing the window :o((
