IE 6 working offline

[mobileman]

When I want to work offline on a webpage, xp tries to dial up online. I click offline and IE shuts down - I then reopen the page and work offline. When I'm done I go to click online and all I get is a message "unable to establish a connection". If I restart the computer everything works as it should.

Any Answers???

My Win98 machine goes offline and online with no problems.

Thanks

Try this.

Make sure your options in IE/ Tools/ Internet Options/ Advanced are correct.

Uncheck the boxes for "Install on Demand" for IE and Other programs (two boxes).

Try running temporarily with the third box "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions" unchecked and see how this goes.

"This specifies that you want to disable features you installed for use with Internet Explorer that may have been created by companies other than Microsoft.
If you encounter problems with Internet Explorer that you cannot resolve, you can use this option to help determine if third-party features are causing the problems without uninstalling the feature. You must restart Internet Explorer after turning this option on or off."


If that stops your errors, you will know where the trouble is.

That worked - I had the "install on demand" checked. I unchecked the two and brought up the pages without dialing up.

Thank you linney
