OK, finally solved it. There must have been some file corruption in the
\Temporary Internet Files directory. I deleted and recreated that directory
and now IE works fine again. You would think that IE would have a better
recovery than this, especially on NT/W2K.

Subject: OT: IE locks up when downloading web page
Any ideas why IE (5.0) would be locking up on an NT 4 Server machine? It
was working fine, but at some point in the past few days it started locking
up when I access any web site. Local files (i.e. Opening an HTM file on the
server hard drive) disply properly. Netscape Navigator, Website, Cold
Fusion, WS_FTP all work fine, so it's nothing in the overall TCP/IP stack.
When I try and access a page, it locates the site (i.e. The DNS responds)
and it shows "Downloading". At that point, IE locks and I need to use Task
Manager to close it down. Running the Active Setup also locks up after
about 200k of download. I'm sure that Active Setup uses the IE code under
the covers somewhere, so that explains why it also locks up. I've tried
repairing IE, and reinstalling. I'm hoping to avoid an uninstall/reinstall
as IE touches so many parts of the OS. :-(
Help!
Thanks!

PS - I even went as far as to upgrade from Win NT 4 to Windows 2000 and it
still locks up when downloading a page. :-(
