Only those who use IE7?

I have XP Pro SP3, all the resources I could ever desire and state of the art software technology. PC is 100% clean as I am require by law do to the nature of my data. IE7 the past few days as frozen the odd time. R/O problem changed keyboard, still have odd time freeze. Will change mouse, even though my mouse performs all necessary functions. All programs work 100%, including Apple Quick Time to rotate my Xrays. Problem only with IE7 will not revert back to IE6 as my world-wide security consultants advise me there is a new serious security flaw in IE6 that microsoft as left unpatched.

Feedback please only from IE7 users. (Will not use any other browser).

Thanks,

Mind Doctor, France.

    I would try to use the IE7 no addons feature to determine if the problem is actually part of IE7.

    in my opinion I desire firefox for that's flexibility, it being open source and the style of upload ons etc. Firefox delivers a spell checker and a get carry of supervisor as regularly occurring. just about something you would be able to desire to think of of could be extra from the firefox community alongside with an IE upload in for those obdurate MS only pages. besides the indisputable fact that the previous commentator grew to become into perfect. IE7 makes use of approximately 0.5 the reminiscence of firefox. it relatively is a reminiscence hog which would be a issue on low spec structures. yet on the top of the day the IE7 browser is in basic terms a destructive reproduction of firefox with protection flaws and issues of java and energetic X. in case you have in no way used firefox or opera then you definately will probable think of that IE7 is surprising. in case you have tried Firefox then you definately could ditch IE7 after each and every week..

    Hi Mind doctor. Its usually me coming to you for help. the only thing i can say is I bought a new mouse from Tesco, not the cheapest but an optical mouse reasonably priced. and I'm convinced it came with a down-loader virus. my security went crazy and shut everything down I'm still having little glitches now. My IE7 seems to be slow at times but nothing unusual. i do hope you get yours sorted out.

    I forgot to say I used the mouse again...... because i thought it couldn't be that. same thing happened. its in the garbage bin now.

    I know we all hear this annoying phrase:

    "Get firefox! It's faster and better!"

    Problem is, this is true. I understand your position. I used to have a problem where certain sites would make IE7 Crash. There is one thing you can do. (Do what I did anyway).

    Go here to download a standalone installer:

    Then go to control panel of your computer, and add/remove programs. Scroll down to close to the bottom and find "Windows Internet Explorer 7" and click "remove" This will take you through an uninstaller. After uninstalling, reinstall. The newer should fix any errors. (It did for me anyway) Good luck.
