Anyone else having a similar experience? Any advice or other things to try
I have: Internet Explorer 6 SP 1, and Windows XP Pro SP 1
Problem: I must be an administrator to have full access to all web-sites. In particular, any URL that has a question mark in it (CGI call?) gets ignored. No error message, no indication of an attempt to access. Yahoo email in particular has problems when this sort of hyperlink is used
Also I cannot access anything in the Help menu - not even the About Internet Explorer item, unless I am logged in as the administrator
I have already confirmed that my network connections and internet access is good. The XP firewall is NOT up. I have already played around with IE Security and Advanced settings and anything else I can think of to no avail. Even played with IEAK to no effect
Finally, Mozilla works, Yahoo email included. So it seems there's something off with my IE6 install. But how to repair it
It's a big deal to me, because it seems to be related to a failed install of QuickBooks Pro 2004, which apparently uses IE technology in its own 'browser'
Final note: My system is a fresh install from Dell on the laptop I bought brand-new from them a couple of weeks ago
