Internet Explorer 7... WHY

rimmer · 16-01-2008, 12:58 AM

this image will just about explain my problem... is firefox the answer?

BTW - It is doing it more and more frequently

All I was on, is 3 tabbeed bebo social network pages

Looks like your system has hung. I'd certainly give it a go - been using firefox for a few years now and never once have i had any wish to go back to IE

Firefox / Seamonkey / K meleon / or Opera ... But never IE...

good old IE, i'm glad i'm now a linux user

rimmer · 17-01-2008, 04:45 AM

the thing is, before i last wiped and formatted my computer, i decided to use firefox, but that was bombing out too, said it was conflicting with skype. Also, every time I wanted to open my mail, it automatically did so with IE 7, even though Mozzilla Firefox was set to default internet program. Just scared of F**King up my system again, and requiring yet again, ANOTHER re-installation of windblows

I wouldnt think this would require a full re-install. I'd re-install skype and try opera purhaps?

Yep full reinstall is the good solution. Earlier I did faces session breakouts during conferencing with my Rhubcom appliance..I never found the answer for few weeks . Finally it got clear that its because its IE 6 was open at the same time..I remove it to finally install IE 7 to get things work.

Firefox is far beyond anything Microsoft has been able to come up with.

Literally the only thing I like about windows is...XP...Period.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a nice Alternative to outlook express.

IE is crap & insecure, FF on Windoze is the way to go, assuming you want to keep Windoze

OE is also very buggy, or it was

IE7 also scores the lowest score for the acid3 standards compliance test... Firefox 3 beta 3 has scored the highest out of the browers i have tested (IE7, firefox 2, firefox 3 beta 3, opera and a opera daily build)

What's SYSfader? I would check that out first....

Re-installation is the last option. Install Tune-up Utilities and run a registry clean
