IE 5.1.7 won't display WebMD site pages

And it also won't display RxList. But it used to display both of these
sites with no problem.

This is what happens when I try to open WebMD on my Mac minitower G3
(running OS 9.1):

  I get the rotating beach ball and, sometimes, the page header.
  I wait and wait.
  When I finally hit Command-period to cancel, the page header shows up
and, sometimes, a menu of site sections.
  Clicking on a section link opens a new window -- where the same thing
happens: an endlessly spinning beachball.

What's going on here? And how can I clear up this issue?

Hey, Neal. Neal here. Nice to see someone else who spells it correctly, may
I add  :-)

I can't tell you what the problem might be but I CAN tell you that I'm
running IE 5.1.7 on OS 9.2.2 and both sites came up promptly for me so
perhaps a reinstall of IE would be in order. To be honest, though, I've
experienced similar issues with DVDEmpire.com and reinstalling IE didn't
clear that up so I could easily be mistaken. I've also experienced issues
with other programs which leads me to believe that I might need to do a
little system folder troubleshooting.

Think you might want to switch to a modern OS and modern browser?

No need to be insulting. 5.1.7 is only about 3 years old and many of us
who used Unix at work don't want to bother with OS X in its present form.
It's only the rare website that won't work with IE 5.1.7
