If you have any "auxillary" browser toolbars, try uninstalling them.
They will be listed in the "Add and Remove Programs" with the word
"toolbar" or just "bar" somewhere in the title. Sometimes they can
cause the browser to malfunction. Also, try doing a repair of the
browser. Go to "Add and Remove" programs and select the browser to
uninstall. It will then prompt you for either an uninstall or repair.
Select repair.
You could also try uninstalling all IE Active X controls
(IE->Properties->Settings->View Objects). Right click each object and
select "Remove". I'm assuming,of course, that you're using IE. For
other browsers, you'll have to search as to where they can be removed
from.
As a last resort, reinstall Windows ME.
Hope this is of some help.
