IE 6.0 help please..going mad here

Hi All:

Im having problems with my IE 6.0 and certain websites. I have Windows XP home edition. I have zone alarm firewall. I have IE 6.0 with 128 bit encryption..also with SP1. I have never tinkered with the settings.. Heres my problem. It seems i cant sign up at certain sites from my home pc (i have cable modem, working fine)..For instance, i couldnt sign up for an ING account. Once i got to a certain point, the page just wont load and eventualy times out to a "page cant be displayed" type message. I then created an account using another pc. I, then, have no problem accessing my account from my pc..its just the sign up process. Could it be my browser settings? My ISP? This has happened on ING, paypal, and even a stupid regis and kelly contest my wife wanted to sign up for..im very frustrated..I have disabled firewall and then attempted..no better.. i dont know anything else to try..im thinking these are major sites, so its gotta be my pc..any help?

Try accessing the sites with a different browser,to see if its an isp problem.You can have multiple browsers open I have 3.
