Internet explore= problems

try this as a new internet browser, it's faster, saner and free;)

how easy is it to swap over as all ive ever used is internet explora and ive never tryed to swap over?

[lfc junkie]

its very easy

just follow the instructions (continuous pressing on ok)

you'll have a firefox-internet browser but you'll still be able to use your old one too

Firefox has it's good and bad points - I had it for a while but got rid of it due to active x problems with games on msn.

To overcome your original explorer problem try this - I'm using windows 98 so it may not even be the same setup but have a look anyway...

On your menu bar up the top click on "tools" then "internet options" then "advance"

You will see a load of little boxes with or without ticks in them. My browser works fine with this set up.


REMOVE the ticks from the 5th, 6th, 12th, 16th and 19th boxes from the browser section - all the rest have ticks in them

GOOD LUCK!

MSN has nothing to do with your internetbrowers I think.
you'll have to install Flashplayer to see vids on you firefox browser, (just follow the link you will see instead of the movie and follow instructions;))
