Internet Explorer Difficulties

Hey again

Seems computers hate me (can't say i blame them), and especially the internet.

I'm still have problems with internet explorer where some pages are mainly blank (basically everything AFTER the body tag isn't displayed, but there is a scroll bar ).

I've checked through my computer for spyware (none), changed various options, disabled my firewall, searched the microsoft website (and tried to contact them which fails miserably). Even tried disabling javascript :/

To the problem, well what i said above really, some pages (not loads and loads but there are some) just don't display the content between the <body> and </body> tag even though the page's coding is fine. The only way i can see the page content is by save the website to HD and editing the source code (which is a lame thing to have to do all the time).

From what i can tell it's connected to the following 2 bits of code which are added to most pages if you use internet explorer 6 +Windows XP Home (yeah, trust MS to do some sort of weird crap).

Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

window.open = SymRealWinOpen;

//-->
</script>
AND:

Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
  return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
  return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</script>
Weirdly, i asked someone else on XP and they don't get that code added to their pages. And i know the person who coded the pages and they said they didn't add that to their page...

Can't seem to find a solution and to be honest i just want to through my PC in the bin! Doesn't matter how good a computer you get there's still way too much stupid problems with them!

Any ways of sorting yet another stupid computer problem would be really good

Thanks
