IE not loading sites.

Hey guys...
IE 6 is giving me problems. When I open it and type a site, it starts to process, then suddenly, the process bar starts blurring, and then the processing stops. It shows "Error on Page" at the bottom.
Someone suggested Browser Hijackers, but I dont think so. I dunno, can Hijackers attack only one browser? Cuz I have Opera and Firefox too, and both of them work like a charm. Any ideas? Plz let me know. Even when I tried reinstalling(using that tickbox facility in Add/Remove Windows Components in Add/Remove Programs) the problem persisted.

You might want to log on as a different user account and see if you still have the problem.
Each user has their own set of Registry entries for many things including IE. If the source of your problem is a Reg entry, starting with fresh entries is a good first step in solving your problem.
If your problem does go away then you could just keep on using the new user you just set up. Of course any options you set with your old user account will have to be reentered again. There is another way to keep your old user but it involves some Registry tinkering to do so which you would probably not want to do.
