If you are new to computers (pc), like me, and you are having problems with this site, in particular, do yourself a favour and download (free) Fire Fox, (or Opera) like I have and you will be a happy camper courtesy of the great advise from other members for whom I am so grateful ....thanks all....silverback

If you're in the mood for kicking Microsoft, have a look at OpenOffice, which is an ongoing development with Sun Microsystems I think. Basically, it's an office suite similar to MS Office, the difference being it is completely free forever. It has a few advantages and there are a few things missing, however it uses the same conventions, hence changing over is not such a big deal.
You could also give "Thunderbird" email application a try, it's made by the same crew (Mozilla) that did Firefox'
Cheers.

Have no problems with IE7..a few bugs.
May I suggest the operator at fault over IE7.
Fix the faults you are having and you might learn more about computers and Windows.
Customer to the service manager at a car yard about his new car.
Customer "I can't wind down my windows......the forgot to fit the window winder handles".
Service " But sir your car has electric windows".
Customer "
Well thats stupid isn't it, they should of told me".
The customer goes away and is still blaming the car for the problem.
Regards Richard

Well I still use IE6 and have no probs.
IE7 is bloatware and only adds another layer to use everything.
Wouldnt have it on my B++ for a wart.
Computers are dumb animals really. They only do what they are told So GIGO rules

Graham I thought the same thing when I loaded IE7, now I have it it's better then IE6 for what it does and ease of use.
There is some things that it asks you if you want to load it...tick no.
The second time I loaded t with out the add ons it work alot better.
