Solve : IE6 "bleeds" on certain sites.?

1.	Solve : IE6 "bleeds" on certain sites.?
Answer» Sometimes, when I go to certain sites, the pictures and text will "bleed" if I try to scroll up or down while the page is still loading. It's difficult to describe it properly, but I've attached a picture that gives an example of what is happening. I'm just wondering if this is normal. I've had it happen on several computers, so I know it's definitely not exclusive to my own. Is there anything I can do (install certain updates maybe) to stop this, or am I just going to have to deal with it? Oh, and nevermind the site I was on. Ha. I didn't know it was going to be one of those silly Caturday sites.I think that's pretty normal. Try getting the latest updates, and enable or disable (change the setting, anyway) smooth scrolling. Also, IE7 or Firefox may solve the issue.I believe my IE is up-to-date, and changing the Smooth Scrolling didn't do anything. This isn't so problematic that I would want to change my browser (ESPECIALLY to IE7). It's a little annoying at times, but I'll just put up with it if I have to.This sounds to me like poor graphics performance by your system. But, that also seems unlikely, with your hardware specs. However, I visited the site shown in your image and experienced no "bleeding". I was displaying it on my second monitor, being powered by a PCI video card with a GeForce4 MX440 GPU. So, it's an OLDER GPU and I still saw no bleeding. The browser I'm using is Firefox 1.5.0.9. I'm running Win XP PRO SP2, AMD Athlon XP 2200, 512MB.I'm assuming it has to do with IE6 because when I view the site with Firefox, this doesn't occur. I need to get some rest, but as soon as I do, I'll confirm that I actually do have all of the latest updates (perhaps I missed something) and report back.OK, well I can report that this doesn't happen in Firefox or IE7. I do recall it happening occasionally with IE6 though, it may just be one of those things with IE6. Try updating your graphics drivers too, it could be poor graphics performance with that 6100.CBMatt.......Quote [highlight]I'm assuming it has to do with IE6 [/highlight]because when I view the site with Firefox I am on that site with IE6 and theres no issues.......... Let the page load first and then you shouldnt have any problems. dl65 Well, I checked to make sure that my IE6 is up-to-date and it is. I don't know if downloading new video drivers will change anything, but it wouldn't hurt to have the latest drivers, so I'll give it a try and let you know if anything changes. It's a big download, so this might take awhile. In the meantime...before I install the new drivers, I have to uninstall my current ones, correct? I can REVERSE this if I have to, right? I'd hate if the drivers didn't work for some reason and I was stuck without any. dl65, Being stuck with dial-up, waiting isn't always easy. Heh. The problem usually goes away after a few seconds, though. I just wanted to be able to get rid of this little issue if at all possible.CBMatt....... Lol ...I don't think theres anything wrong other than you have dial-up........ PATIENCE ........ let it load first ....... or consider a highspeed connection. dl65 Oh, believe me, I'm definitely considering broadband. The only problem is that my mom pays the bill, so it's a matter of getting her to consider it too. Ha.You didn't mention you had dial-up. At least I didn't see it. I think that's just it, just either get a faster connection or be patient. The site's OK once it loads, right? I don't think there's anything you can do to eliminate this.Sorry, I didn't think my connection speed had anything to do with this issue, so I didn't mention it in my initial post. I'm also getting the feeling that nothing will eliminate this (besides a faster connection or alternative browser). New video drivers haven't changed anything, but it's nice to at least have them fully up-to-date. And yes, these particular sites work just fine after loading. Thanks for all of your input. Oh, and sorry for the late response. I got bogged down with a big HTML project I'm WORKING on and managed to get sidetracked for a good eight hours or so. Ha.Another factor here may be interlaced graphics. Indeed, it's something you ought to be aware in connection with HTML projects. Here's a reference: Interlaced GIF. Be sure to view the Example of an interlaced GIF graphic and Example of a noninterlaced GIF graphic (links near the bottom of the page).So, you're saying that interlaced graphics could be causing this to happen? Because as far as I can tell, the graphics on the site in question are noninterlaced. And this will also sometimes happen on sites that don't even have graphics. I'm guessing that MAYBE it has something to do with some sort of Java code (even though I just updated Java the other day), but I really don't know. I'm just shooting in the dark here. As soon as I find another page that has this same issue, I'll compare the sources and see if anything catches my eye that both pages share.
