Problems with Internet Explorer 6 in XP

[pilo]

Hello, many times pages does not display right in IE6 or Firefox 3.6.3

e.g. Gmail does not display colors, like it lacks styles. Or font size gets larger.

I have Opera and no problems with it but strangely both IE and FF have this problem. It corrects after some time when I reload the webpage.

Also, .chm files do dot display right when this happens.
What can be the problem?

I use Win XP SP2

Thanks

I really hate to be the one to tell you, but you'll probably have to update to IE7 or 8.
Yahoo wouldn't even let me get my email until I updated to 8.
I was completely happy with IE6 and I don't like IE8, but was forced kicking and screaming to update to it because so many sites no longer support IE6.
It's a friggin Microsoft conspiracy if you ask me. And I've never liked any version of Firefox.

my system is really XP pro with Ubuntu installed inside Windows auto updates turned on IE8 is the only browser in windows and Firefox on Ubuntu.
I dont turn on MS suggested sites and dont agree to go in their product improvement scheme there been 2 later model windows OSes since XP

I installed IE7 and the problem continued.

I uninstalled IE7 and back to IE6.

I've never used Opera. But do you have a "connect directly" feature on Opera that will bypass IE6 settings? It might be on the "tools" or "proxy" drop-down list.

It was a problem with accessibility settings.
