[TR] Absolutely non-Triumph - but HELP!

[oliver]

this may work - i had a client today who had that problem in IE.  IE and 
outlook express, i think, are tied together.
go to start/run and type in %temp% and hit enter.
type ctrl a and shift del to delete everything you can.  this, btw, is 
standard maintenance and should be done on a regular basis.
now go to IE, and go to tools / internet options and select delete
then select delete all, and yes, delete everything.  close ie, then go to 
start, run, and type in cmd
you'll get a black "dos" box.  type chkdsk /f and hit enter.
type y and enter  (again, standard maintenance sort of stuff)
as an extra, go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, and disk 
cleanup.  it will run for a bit, and show you some check boxes.
check all except for the microsoft office setup files.
then i think you hit ok, and it will run for a bit, then just disappear. 
that means its done
reboot, and see if that helps.

except for the IE delete, this is pretty standard maintenance stuff, and 
should be done on a regular basis (monthly).  i usually charge to do this 
<grin>
