Odd problem on Amazon pages /IE6
Hi - Not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.
Starting two days ago many Amazon pages begin to jump and down constantly one lines-worth. Not all pages but many, often ones when they display "Both Together" types of offers give me a problem. The screen is normal when first loaded and viewed at very top, but I can tell when there's going to be a problem because I can see the vertical scroll bar flickering. If I scroll down half way, from that point on the entire rest of the page is going up and down once every second or so. There is usually some sentence either jumping up/down or disappearing completely and reappearing again, rhythmically every second or two, as if someone hit the Enter key and then the Delete key over and over again.
There's also quite a lag between the time the pages appear to fully load and the time one can actually access the page. (This has been ever since they started redesigning their site, which stinks, but never had the jumping issue until two days ago.)
I tried with my husbands laptop and they appeared normal there. I also had my sister try who has almost the identical system as I do (same Dell model and video card/driver) and she did not see it either.
I have not noticed any problems on any other websites, but I can't
find anyone else noticing this issue on Amazon. (I use Amazon a lot and it's driving me nuts.)
I have WinXP with IE6, 768RAM, nVidia GeForce3 Ti200 with updated drivers. I
disabled all Browser Helpers, but that didn't change anything. I installed the latest Flash, no help. I lowered Hardware Acceleration, no help. I know the card is outdated but I wasn't having any issues.
I was wondering if people wouldn't mind checking out a few of the
sample links and post back what they find (or don't find.) On rare occasions they seem OK even on my system, but not for long.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
Thanks-
Vickie

Thank you for posting your message at the Dell Community Forums.
I didn't notice anything strange with the links, not sure what is going on. Are you still having problems with the pages?
Regards,
vittoria
