    Question What the......

    This could actually be posted elswhere, but any way:

    Specs

    Three major irritations:

    #1 - I open a new document in Word (Office 2000) type in something and the minute I click anything on the toolbar I get a blank screen. Hit enter and I'm back to the desktop.
    #2 - I can go to a webpage with I.E.6 with no probs, but if I try to link to anything else from that page I get one of these:



    and back to the desktop

    #3 - I can see all the files on my remote site but the second I try to ftp a file to it.... you guessed it...back to the desktop.

    Norton Windoctor finds no errors, full AV scan comes up empty, SP's for Office and I.E.6 are installed.....

    WTF???

    if you can try disabling some of the toolbars. that are not standard for windows.

    click view, toolbars, and disable anything not standard buttons, address bar, and links.

    That is for IE.. I have seen this issue before and it landed up being a toolbar from a program that was downloaded from the Internet.

    you also may find a weird toolbar in Word. which would cause word to crash. You also may want to try rename the normal.dot file and reopening Word.

    I was going to suggest that too. Consider this a second motion...

    third-party browser extensions can also cause all kinds of weird problems in IE

    I was getting this a lot in outlook and IE when I had a bad 80pin SCA to 68 pin U160 converter which was corrupting data. ..pretty damn annoying.

    I also get that error every time PC-CILLIN updates. I need to close and reopen all IE windows...

    Are you losing any other data?

    You could try a complete removal and re-install of Office and IE.

    those two buddies like to be ba$tards at times together.

    Well it wasn't a corrupt normal.dot, or any toolbars. uninstall\reinstall corrected some probs and created <i> different</i> ones. So I nuked the damn thing.
    Thanks for the ideas guys.
