I don't have problems with Firefox. IE, Opera, Safari and other browsers have all given me problems of one sort or another. I recently tried Maxthon and wound up with 2 trojans and a bunch of spyware that took me 6 hours to get rid of. So I recommend Firefox!

Download Firefox and you'll never have troubles with IE again. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html

So what was the problem, and how did you fix it?

the problem was me being very very dumb lol

I stopped using IE aaaaaages ago, I use safari but for some reason my PC had a funny moment and safari stopped working, all I had was IE.

I tried to use it to download safari again and everything I tried didnt work.....I think the IE default settings had been activated when I tried unsuccessfully to uninstall a few months ago

was just a case of going through and enableing everything.

I am not an overly technical person, its usually something simple, it was just driving me to distraction and I couldn't think how to fix it for a little while, suddenly realized I was being a lemon and with a little prodding and suggestions from someone else I figured it out

Safari on a PC? For shame. Dump the shitty Safari software, go for FireFox. It will fix all your problems and be a god send to you. Best web browser available.

I tried firefox on my last laptop and nothing seemed to work properly, so when that laptop 'passed away' and I got a new one I went for Safari instead, never really had a problem with is until a few days ago, but I think that was a laptop problem
