Internet Explorer Problem

[twiztidsuplex]

Ok, whenever i have a window up, sometimes, but not all the time, it will not close it will just make the error sound when i click the X, no error message pops up, the only way to get rid of it is to alt cntrl del, and end task, but i've also noticed that whenever this happens, the iexplore.exe process in the task manager is usually using 98 or 99% of the CPU Usage, can anyone help me with this?

I'm not sure what could be causing the problem! but please try Firefox its a free browser much better than IE!

have you tried a windows update?

 

[twiztidsuplex]

yea i keep my computer up-to-date, i got sp2, but anyways i'll try out firefox.

 

[Sniper]

hmmm, did this start to happen after you installed SP2?

It may take sometime before you get used to firefox so don't if you don't like it at first keep using it! It took me a while to get used to it!

Hey im running firefox now, and u were right it is much better, but there is just one thing, that google search, is there any way to get rid of that and get my actual google toolbar there?

So thats a big fat no, thats crappy, but oh well i can live with it.

ok next question, how do i go about unistalling internet explorer?

 

[Sniper]

you should keep it to run Windows Update! as windows update won't work under firefox!

if you do want to uninstall go here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q293907

In XP, go to control panel > add/remove programs > add/remove windows components [not sure if that will work though!]

hmm, well, ok what i really would like to know is their any way to associate msn messenger with firefox instead of IE? such as when i click "6 New Emails" it using firefox, not IE, and i already have it set as my default browser.

 

[Sniper]

I think it could be a bug? try this go to Start > Set programme and access defaults

and select custom, set firefox as the default browser from there and see if it helps!

 

[twiztidsuplex]

hmm its still using IE firfox comes up with outlook, so im guessing its in messenger somewhere?

Hey i got it, i was looking though the plug-ins for msn Plus! and i found one called Stuff Plug-NG, and it goes though with firefox now! thanks for all the help, and now, im going to go eat some cereal.
