Bloody IE

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Bloody IE

I have now decided that IE is cr**, it has always come up with the 'send an error report to microsoft' error, but recently it has been doing that as soon as i open a window, so i have been unable to use the internet properly. but thankfully i could open my computer and type in a web address and find 'Avant Browser' which is WAAAYYYY better.

IE's never failed me. 'Twas my first browser and I tried Netscape and a couple others, and they disgusted me. I'm on IE for life .

As much as people hate that *Send report*, it does help MS provide patches, and corrections to new versions. Even if it agrivates the heck out of you when you are in the middle of something and you lose what you have done.

The annoying thing about the send error report thing is the fact it seems to happen for no reason every single time I open IE

Well I hope you've learnt a valuable lesson pSYCHO; listen to Taw and I when we tell you that something sucks! We have been extolling the virtues of Opera (Taw) and Mozilla/Mozilla Firefox(me) for months, and it has taken you this long to figure it out! You must understand that IE is based upon a slow and obsolete engine (Mosaic), and is rife with security vulnerabilites and holes. Why do you think that they are contantly releasing patches? Well, I won't bash you, but you should learn to trust those of us in the know . Moving on, I would recommend either Mozilla Firefox (the one I use), or Opera. They are both very fast, secure, and robust programs. You won't be sorry.

Note: pSYCHO, have you ever thought of turning "Error Reporting" off?

Taw - You know me too well!

What do you mean you want "more than opinions"? Do you want reviews? Then search on Yahoo!, etc old son. Or you know what you could do? Download a few different browsers and try them out yourself! *Gasp* That's the best way to do it. Try them out yourself and form your own opinions. *Sniff* I'm sorry if our opinions aren't good enough for you....

Post Wed Feb 25, 2004 5:35 pm
