hooray – my website is looking back to normal again on my pc. I used WinOptimizer to clear Internet Explorer’s cache but that didn’t seem to do any good, so I then went into control panel/add/remove components and went to remove ie6sp1 (which would have reverted me back to ie5!!!!). However I chose the option to repair, and it seems to have done so. AND i’m still running sp1. Phew!
