Try netscape 7.2 with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2). i think this will work . netscape 7.2 works great in windows XP and it is much more safer than IE 6.0. OR try the following ; right-click IE on your desktop, select Properties, tab Connections. Select the current/default connection, then click Settings... On the bottom left is a box -Do not allow Internet programs to use these settings- Make sure that box is cleared. click apply. this might help you......
