Hi
Try updating flash and jarva, the sites keep putting up smarter adds that use the latest versions of these and if you do not have it with vista it just closes it. A little while ago I had a problem with this site and one ad and every time I opened a page if the ad was there the program closed.
Hope this helps.
Have fun
Craig

I prefer to use Opera Browser. There are very few sites where you don't have full and better useability. You have fewer net bots too as they are really written for Internet Explorer rather than the options, Firefox, and Opera.
It has been apparent that Microsoft have in later editions tried to copy some of the features of their competitors. They will be second or third choice for me.

And I suppose that after using Opera for a while you can see "The View" LOL

F'loosie, not even "Song sung Blue" is opera. Whichever browser I use I still need my glasses these days for the view. LOL
Here I don't even see a fat lady singing. :-(

Hi David,
I've been using FireFox for awhile now with out any problems.
Sure, quite often I have to update an add on, I find it over all a better program to use than IE.
This is just my opinion. I'm using less and less of Microsoft's produces of late.

I've been using Firefox for years,Microsoft dropped the ball with Internet Explorer,They only updated it to try keep up with the high demand of people wanting to use Firefox.
Safer and easier to use
Cheers

David,
As mentioned before try a flash update. Various versions of the flash player have some bugs. I have tried to find a pattern or even work out what is causing the problem however I have been unable to work it out. As one stage we had a scroller for the latest news that used flash and it caused a few problems so it was turfed. Anyway see how you go with an update to flash.
