Title: IE problems
Post by: Barra on October 14, 2003, 19:49

For the last couple of days I've been having problems with IE- and before you say anything Simon, no, I'll leave mozilla alone for now ;D- but only when I first try to open it,it opens then freezes. I have to use ctrl-alt-del to clear it. Then it's fine. It doesn't matter if it's opened with an email link,task bar icon or off desktop. I've got IE 5.5 and ME. Any ideas?

I would'nt know, I use................Mo.........Simon is it something you said  ::)

Barra why don't you update to IE:6 as M$ are not supporting IE:5.5 after December, so what you gonna do for your security updates  ;D

Last time I used IE6 I had problems with a few sites, can't remember if it was this one or the "other one", maybe both so I'm a bit wary of it

I think you should do the upgrade Barra.  You are going to have to do it at some point aren't you?  I haven't heard of anyone having problems accessing the forum with IE6.  Be brave.   Sandra will hold your hand.  ;D

Check your Home Page, Barra.  Try it with the 'Use Blank' option.  It may be trying to open something iffy whan you start IE.  Just a thought.

Of course, you could always try Mo....  :-X ;D ;D

mmmm could be, but why would it just start freezing now, more than ever?  

I thought that it must be something else on our computers that ME doesn't like?
