PBW incompatible with IE 6 SP 1?

LL mentioned cookies, and IE6 has an additional tab under Tools--> Internet Options called Privacy that controls how cookies are handled. The Edit button at the bottom of the tab can be used to set cookie policy for individual websites. You might try allowing all cookies from seiv.pbw.cc.

Trying that now... didn't work.

Also, what OS are you using, IF? Depending on the OS, somewhere under File Types there's an option to always download or always launch a particular file type. You may need to go in there and set .jsp's to always open (though that could be dangerous on other sites), or at least not automatically try to save.

2000. But, that couldn't be the problem. I haven't changed the file types recently, and installing IE 6 SP 1 wouldn't do that any differently than installing IE 6 did, and the site ran fine under IE 6.

Crud. Hmm... if you clear your temporary internet files again, does the site work properly? If it does, you can set IE to automatically clear out temporary internet files when you close it, under Internet Options--> Advanced under the Security heading. 'Course, this may be a pain if you have a slow internet connection....

If all else fails, you could try reinstalling IE. Something that's worked for me for strange IE-related problems is to refresh all components of IE. Run IE setup, choose a custom install, then select all components, even the ones in bold that IE claims to not need to be updated.

No, clearing the browser Cache again doesn't work.

Well, phooey.

If reinstall or reverting to your previous Version of IE don't work, then I'm stumped. ('Course, we could always try Technet.)

I didn't try reinstalling yet. I have PBW games to play now, after all.

Fyron,

I'm bumping this up from a while ago because it seems at least one person has found a solution. The people who have reported this: are any of you running Proxomitron or similar popup-blocking proxy programs?

I turned Proxomitron off, and still had the problem.

Edit:
Ack. I turned it off before, and it didnt help. I just turned it odd now, and it helped.

Guess I will have to set it to ignore the PBW site.
