Yeah so a couple days ago the new Internet Explorer 7 came out and I figured "Hey why not? Can't be too bad eh?" Well ever since then I've had nothing but trouble, worst of all it seems to happen most on this site! (Though that may just be because I spend the majority of my internet time here :P ) But anyway my connection is constantly slipping now, only not really because it still running but it keep on prompting me to go dial-up! Then often times my mouse would start flickering, making it very hard to see and I sware it also skips hitting buttons now! On top of all that it seems to of actually slowed down my computer :o Like it's only a year old, it should be having speed problems yet, especially from a program such as the Internet.

So is anyone else having these problems with it? And if so, you wouldn't happen to know of a way to fix it eh?

I've got IE7 as well and (although I don't think it's that much of an improvemen from the last one) it hasn't given me any crap as of yet. I'ts broken down a couple of times and my mouse skipped a few times too, but I also have that problem with other programs.

I suggest you get some spyware removal tools (adware and spybot are working for me) and clean your history/temp folder every once in a while. You could also try re-installing it sometime.

Cheers,

i run Firefox too constantly, but when i heard of IE7 i downloaded it aswell. Microsof t released it just after Mozilla had its Firefox 2.0 released, as a comeback, but a very good review i read said that IE7 already had security issues and such and that is was once again behind on MF 2.0...

What i like about IE7 is the looks it has gotten, it is simplified and useful finally with the tabbing, but so many things seem ripped off from Mac or Mozilla.

Im staying with Mozilla on this one, i never had problems with it, except that it can be slow on opening a PDF online...but thats not really a big problem.

My advice : getfirefox.com

I have no idea which version of IE I have, but it disappears every once in a while. It's really broken and stuff. Probably due to spywares becaue I do have a few pop-ups

That said, I'm not the only one using this PC. Too bad, I have to live with it. So I hid FireFox in my personnal stuff (so it doesn't get used by other people, thus won't break) except I'm always too lazy and use IE ^_^
