Alright, Ive got the latest explorer because my trusty older version started to give me fits. Well it seems that alomost every time im on the net I get an error and it wants to send it back to M$. I sent back the first few but then got to thinking that who knows whats being sent back to them. Is this just a ploy to get usage info out of me?;) What got me ranting is just now when I was reading the forums got an explorer error 4 times and so I rebuted. Upon reboot I twice got explorer fatal error and a BSOD once. Needless to say I'm kinda digging that new cool blue of Netscape as I write this.
anyone else having this much trouble?

Cheers

No, not that much trouble.

BTW, to get rid of going back to Ms go to 'tools' 'internet options' and 'use blank' home page...

Also, sounds like you might have an oc problem. Too high?

Opera beta 6 is good: fast, clean and so far works on all the sites I've gone to. The only problem I've had is my first install was corrupt and I had to reinstall.

I have a similar issue with ie 6. If I set my FSB to 151, the first thing that goes is IE. As soon as I go back down to 150, no more problems. Try to reduce your FSB 1 or 2 MHz.

Flounder the only reason U want me to lower my oc is that Im right on your butt in Folding;) . Well anyways I dropped the FSB down a notch so hopfully that will cure my ills. Although, I do still kinda dig that new netscape color scheme so 'm gonna play with it for a while. It automatically imported all my favorites from IE so its not that big a deal to switch-just need to go to a few sites to establish some cookies-nummmers:D

That's not it, but I think you should lower the o/c on all of you machines because I have heard that it could damage your equipment...

The way to disable Error Reporting on an XP system is to use:
Control Panel - System - Advanced - Error Reporting and then click on Disable error reporting.
