Have you tried Repairing I.E.?

If that doesn't work, check for spyware.
Use Ad Aware. Spybot isn't available at this present time or I would send you there.

If Spyware isn't your problem, try restarting your machine in MS-DOS Mode. At the C:\> prompt, type scanreg /restore and pick one of the 5 dates that are previous to your problem symptoms. Follow the prompts and restart your machine.

Good Luck.

Cheers!

running ie6.......tried to to repair it but it said it could not be done because it found files from previous versions...........tried reinstalling it over current version but nothing changed

check your security settings for the internet zone (esp activeX controls,etc)

frankly, if you are not running xp, i would avoid IE6 altogether. i have found 5.5sp2 to be the least buggy of all the IE versions floating around out there.

edit: i'm also assuming you're running ie6sp1
