Hate it.:ragin:

There isn't a day goes past when I don't have to close ALL the IE windows, but cause it refuses to open a fresh one. Close all the open ones and it will open news ones again quite happily - for a couple of hours then it buggers up again.

Hate it.:ragin: Hate it.:ragin: Hate it.:ragin:

Well why not change? :Whistle::p

The Internet Browser market isn't a monopoly you know. And it's pretty simple to change ;) :D

Not sure Ally. I thought it was the real deal, but the update may fix some of the bugs.

you would probably only have the beta version if you had downloaded it yourself and not through the update process.

Fi - have you tried Open Office instead? Opens all the standard Office docs and is pretty good for all I need at home.

IE is officially ditched. Switched to Google Chrome. Does everything it says on the tin. Doesn't freeze up and is a simple, uncluttered browser.

IE7 at home and IE8 in work were both freezing when trying to open new pages when we already had a browser open. All updates downloaded and installed but still wouldn't work.

Stuff it, life's too short.:thumbs up:

One thing though... Google Chrome's own spell checker wants to change Google to Goggle. Go figure.:frown:
