One possibility is that the TIF's index.dat is corrupt.
Clear the TIF. If necessary, delete the whole Temporary Internet Files
directory (which would delete the Content.IE5\index.dat).
To do that in an NTx OS you need to use a different administrative account
(e.g. either boot an alternate partition or log on as Administrator.)


Good luck
