I have a user with Windows 2000 Professional with IE6 SP1 who clicked
the icon on the tool bar
that said 'discuss'. They haven't been able to do anything with IE
since. It will load
their default page but after that all they get when trying to do
anything on the IE window is a 'bell'
sound. This includes right click functions as well. Just above the task

bar,
another bar has appeared which presumably is part of this 'discuss'
function.
The bar, reading from left to right has an 'X', which is presumably for


closing it, then the word 'Discussions' and then six icons which I have



never seen before.
Is there anyone in the group that has come across this before and if so

can
they still remember the fix. I can't even access the IE Help, Tools or
anything in the IE window. My Task Bar and Start menu are still
functioning
but in order to shutdown IE I have to invoke the Ctrl-Alt-Delete
function. I
have tried rebooting via the Restart and also Shutdown routines but
with no
luck. Help urgently requested as I cannot access the Internet at all.
I am unable to use the view option in the toolbar to uncheck
discuss.... so I'm stuck.
Any help would be appreciated.
