IE6 taking long to open ANY new browser window.

I'm having a problem with my IE6. It takes appx 90 sec to load
any NEW browser window and I notice that the globe in the upper rt
corner of the window doesn't spin as it usually does while loading. I
noticed this starting to happen right after I accepted the most
recent
Winows update for my Win2000 Prof (installed Sat 4/12). The update
was
Microsoft .netframework 2.0 Svce Pack 1. After I did a restart, the
problem with my IE started. Could there be a connection?  Also, I
downloaded to my desktop IE6 Svce Pack 1 for W2K, but when I tried to
run setup for it, I got an error message "access to specified device,
path, or file is denied".  When I tried to run it directly, I got an
error message "the file is not a valid WIN32 application"

Does anyone know what this means and why I can't run the setup either
way?  Is the solution to really reload my W2K all over again? What is
the inplication of going that route?

Just curious... what applications do you use that require .Net Framework ?

I don't need .netframework, it just installed as part of a routine

Offhand, your whole PC is probably running slower due to .Net Framework.
May I suggest it's removal (is IS after all, an *optional* software
installation,
not a security patch or or OS fix).

Felixc,  If you are using the Google task bar on your computer, go to the 
area of the task bars with your mouse and right mouse click.  Uncheck the 
google task bar and see if your computer does not work faster.  I had the 
same problem starting a few days ago when I got the Microsoft updates and I 
tracked it down to a conflict with the google task bar.  Hope this helps.
