I re-installed Internet Explorer 6 in hopes of fixing a problem, but it didn’t work. Instead, I got a kick out of it because it didn’t pass the Windows logo test. Click on the image to see the full evidence. If this one doesn’t pass, why should it matter if the others fail?

The problem I’ve been having? First - I have ruled out everything and determined it’s a problem with Internet Explorer on my computer. IE and MyIE are the ones having the problem. Mozilla proved it. Opera proved it.

The two situations that are baffling me:

Online webmail. When I check webmail online, I have a choice of three applications: Neomail, Horde, and SquirrelMail. Squirrel is the one I use. Whenever I sign into it, it gives me the (error info). Wondering if it was the server, I went into Horde. Same problem. Neomail — NO PROBLEM! Logical? Not at the moment.

I went into Mozilla and other browsers and didn’t have the aforementioned problems. Uninstalling Google Bar did nothing. The firewall is not an issue. Re-installing IE6 was fruitless and a big waste of time as it took several hours to get it to install. Searching Microsoft’s knowledgebase, checking out the usual haunts like annoyances.org, and Google… can’t find the answer.

SurveyMonkey is the other one with a problem. Even when I cleaned out the cookies, it produces an error cookie. Sheesh! Of course, it works fine in the other browsers. I just can’t let these problems go. The repair person in me wants to find the solution and I KNOW there is one. I contacted Surveymonkey’s tech support — no clues yet.
