trouble with explorer ???

[floorlayer]

Not really a pc game prob more a browsing problem but i hope someone out there would be kind enough to help. Whenever i browse on the internet and press to access a link on a web page the link page does'nt load i get a white box with the explorer box at the top appear but thats all but if i add the site to my favourites list then click on it, it comes up, this is the only way that i can get to this forum which i have not longed discovered. Obviously i can't surf the web adding every page i want to visit to my favourites list as the list would be massive. I use Windows XP withe IE6 . I would appreciate any help or ideas thankyou very much in advance. Dan
