I generally use Microsoft's one but I am turning away from it. For some reason some pictures dont show on sites. Like before, the icons at the sike of the posts telling you which ones are new post didnt show up. Virtually every web site has some picture that doesnt load.

If I install Windows from fresh it starts working perfectly again fir about 2 months and the it goes back to not displaying stuff. I Have all the latest patches installed.

 

I use Opera sometimes and I am started to favour it all the time now. I never get any errors like I do on the MS one and the download tool is much better. For example, I was trying to download a patch for a game through MS Internet Explorer and it kept timing out. I thought that must mean the site is busy or gone down.

I then tried the same link in Opera and it downloaded at 87kbs. Quite a difference from timing out.

But this isnt the only download this has happened too. A number of downloads have timed out with Internet Explorer but then worked fine with Opera.

 

So I just wondered what you lot use.

 

Stuart

Secure IE

 

Safe and fast.

Netscape 7

Opera 7

Cos do you have the latest Opera 7.2?

 

I find it much better

Internet Exploder most of the time and Netscrape when that doesn't work. If I get really desperate I use Opera ...

Try Mozilla or Mozilla Firebird.

 

You can download their browsers from this website http://www.mozilla.org/

Internet Explorer. I did briefly use Mozilla but it annoyed me that the scroll wheel thing where you press and hold the wheel doesnt work in it.

 

But stuart, the problem with the non-loading pictures is a bug in IE6 SP1, if you have windows XP you should be able to remove the SP1 from add/remove programs, and it will take it back to just regular IE6, which doesnt have the problem. However if its win2k or less than it will take you back to IE5 or whatever was standard.

Not yet - might give it a try.

 

Infact, I'm on my way there now.
