Firefox.

IE is terrible. It really is awful.

I really have nothing to add to this but that I agree. IE is still on my computer, but I haven't got the faintest clue when I last used it.

Oh I know babe, I KNOW! I LOVE Firefox, however Yahoo! is partnered with IE so when IE doesn't work my widgets don't work for some random reason. Also I do online surveys that only work in IE and I have bills that can only be paid in IE.

I wish they would just accept the string and give it up to FF. Someday soon...

Did IE cut you off mid-entry?

stickykeys633 May 25 2007, 21:11:08 UTC

No, that was FF and Eljay having an argument. Those two just can't get along sometimes! I'll fix,, thanks!

As for advice, check your Hijackthis log for unusual BHOs and stuff in the "09" section (extra buttons and stuff). And, uh, try to get those updates.

The last time I did a major update it totally wiped out my itunes! And it's a known problem! I don't know why it happens so I just don't run the updates.

I hate IE7 with a passion I thought would be unable to deepen after IE6.

I have no advice - I cannot figure out IE7 at all!!! And as far as I can tell, no one can. Trying to ask for help with glitches for IE7 on various tech boards is like posing zen koans: there is no answer, it just stands as a reflection upon the unanswerable.

So sorry you're stuck having to try to get it to work: I have to with some stuff, too, and it is mind-boggling how much frustration some of these companies will make their customers go through just to do business.

I finally got it to work. Found out that my expired copy of Norton anti-virus software was blocking everything up so I just uninstalled it, and everything worked like a charm.

I hate IE sooo much.
