A Web page is rendered accurately from the top of the page to an arbitrary point midway down the page, and the remainder of the page is blank.

There is a problem receiving a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) stream from sites with Internet Explorer 5 when a delay occurs during a query. In most cases, the page is only partially rendered. Viewing the source code for the page reveals a partially formed HTML stream such as: Refreshing the page may result in a fully-formed page, although subsequent refreshes may generate the same problem, cutting the HTML stream at different locations.

To resolve this issue, download and install the appropriate file for your language and platform from the Microsoft Download Center.

NOTE: The "More Information" section explains the terms "X86", "ALPHA," and "Platform."

Also, this QFE replaces the Wininet.dll file with version 5.00.2614.3400, so you can apply it to Internet Explorer 5 versions 5.00.2014.0216 and 5.00.2314.1003, but not to version 5.00.2614.3500 that may be included with your installation of Windows 98 Second Edition. If the Wininet.dll file has a version number later than 5.00.2614.3400, you do not need to apply this QFE.

The terms "x86 platform" and "Alpha platform" are used to describe the underlying hardware or software of a computer.

The x86 platform is a generic name for the series of microprocessor families that began with the 80286 microprocessor. The x86 microprocessors include the 386DX/SX/SL family, the 486DX/SX//DX2/SL/DX4 family, and the Pentium family including the latest MMX microprocessor. For example, the x86 platform might be a 386DX running Windows 95, an Intel Pentium processor running Windows 98 Second Edition or an Intel Pentium II processor running Windows NT 4.0.

The Alpha platform is a microprocessor as well as the name of a series of computers made by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), which is now part of Compaq. The Alpha platform is based on Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) architecture. For example, the Alpha platform might be a DEC Alpha workstation running Windows NT 4.0 or a Sun Microsystems SPARCstation running UNIX.
