Firefox vs IE

[Guest guest]

I've been using FireFox for two years now. Its great, but I think my

Internet Explorer is having a hissy-fit -- IE will no longer work. I

also lost my Outlook Express at the same time. I must have changed a

setting so those Microsoft app's no longer worked. Not a problem as

Outlook Express was constantly trying to change itself over to Outlook

(the bigger version of itself). Right now I've got a Christmas " skin "

on mine -- red and green lightbulbs, candy canes, ginger bread houses,

reindeer, snow flakes, etc. Threse, you'll like it. Dave

My IE performance was degrading over time, as well. Problems with

Activex Control not working, Flash player not playing, pictures not

showing. Part of it I blame on myself, since I can't help

making " fixes " and " improvements " I can't undo. I finally " tweaked " my

computer (not very long ago) to total unusability and had to make a

total system restore. IE and other programs are working fine now, but

it's not a method I recommend (smiling wryly), unless you're completely

prepared for it.

Same with me, Derek. I'm now thinking of getting a file transfer

program and cable and first placing everything on another computer so

that I can do a system restore on this one. I have program disks for

just about everything. Dave.

Now I'm a little worried because I can't afford to lose IE since a couple

of my programs depend on it. I'll test it on the other computer later this

month.

 

Thanks for the info!
