I assume you use a timeout?
Put it in a function if you haven't.
Just cancel the timeout onmouseover and start it back up onmouseout.

Like:
function myTimer()
{
// code to start timer
}
function stopMyTimer()
{
// cancel your timer
}

<img onmouseover="stopMyTimer()" onmouseout="myTimer()" ...>

You know you can explicitly disable Meta Refresh in IE6?

var myVar;

function myTimer()
{
myVar = setTimeout('changeURL()',1000)
}
function stopMyTimer()
{
clearTimeout(myVar)
}
function reloadPage(){
document.location.reload(true);
}

<img onmouseover="stopMyTimer()" onmouseout="myTimer()" ...>
