I would wager to guess that would be the issue cause those websites in question could be heavily coded for IE7 or Firefox and not work well in IE6.

I would update Java, Flash Player and your shockwave. See if that helps.

Thank you for your response. As far as I know all the programs you mentioned are updated. The newer versions of Java and Flashplayer are not supported using Windows ME. Believe I did download the latest version of Java and it caused mayhem on my system. You have to use the last Java version designed to work with Windows 9x systems.
I have had this problem even when Windows ME WAS supported and have all the critical updates up to the time when MS discontinued their support for the OS. In other words I have been having this problem for a long, long time. This isn't anything that just popped up.

What is a mystery is my problem only exists when closing out certain websites.
