IE6 with SP2 and RootsWeb WorldConnect et al

[David Cornell]

I have having a problem with Internet Explorer and some of the online
genealogy databases, notably RootsWeb WorldConnect and LDS FamilySearch.
When I use the search forms to submit a query and get a list of possible
hits. Everything goes fine for the first hit I examine, but when I try
to navigate back to the original hit list, I get an error message saying
that the page cannot be displayed. If I refresh the page, I get a blank
search form and have to reenter my query from scratch.

I first noticed this after installing SP2, although that may be a red
herring. I have an old copy of Netscape that still works properly with
these pages, so I have a workaround, but I'd like to know if anyone know
how I can make IE6 work properly. It seems to do this only with
genealogy related databases.

Does it still have adequate disk cache? Click Tools-Internet
Options-Settings(for temporary internet files) and set amount of disk space
to the middle position if it isn't already and see if that changes things.

Bob,

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you!

You're really good...

But wouldn't frequently using Disk Cleanup in System Tools accomplish
the same thing?

I increased my cache space anyhow!

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. I had written here previously that I

had so many problems after installing SP2 that I decided to uninstall it
according to the instructions from microsoft; then my computer crashed. I lost
everything.

So you don't have to reload the list everytime, right-click on the record
and open in a new window or hold the shift key when clicking on the record
will force it to open in a new window. Makes it easy to compare multiple
possiblities.
