Tsk tsk. MyIE2 is so much better. It's IE with tabs. Mmm..

(Ignore the crappy skin though, I have a really nice brushed aluminum one.

IE shells (I don't know the technical/proper name) always use a lot of resorses, and are prone to more crashes than IE alone. This is my experience anyway.
See if it does it when just in IE.

dlinkwit27 · 28th June 2003, 02:57

it does it in IE regular as well

dlinkwit27 · 28th June 2003, 03:01

I got this <see attachment> when veiwing the "rate the avatar above you" thread, using jsut IE6.0.2800.blah/blah.blah

dlinkwit27 · 28th June 2003, 03:05

still IE6.blah, xphome, got this <again, attachment> when looking at "the gender test" thread

dlinkwit27 · 28th June 2003, 03:07

hm...I think it is a script in anubis' sig, everytime i see a thread with his anme in it, i get the crash. If he doesn't reply, then i have no problem....weirdness....

J_Bloggs · 28th June 2003, 03:09

oh ok, me too slow posting...

dlinkwit27 · 28th June 2003, 03:13

the only extra stuff which is new, is norton. i think norton is trying to protect me from something in anubi's sig, and if fuqs IE up. stupid norton!

other extras i'ev had pre-crashing days: google toolbar
flash-get

Do you have ad blocking turned on in norton? Turning that off might help, I'm going to go find a thread with anubis in it and see what mine does.

//edit: No problems here. Although I have windows 2000 pro, and a very unupdated norton 2002, and norton is slightly different for each OS, so, yeah. anubis' sig graphic doesn't show up for me though.

i would say:
1: mozilla firebird OR opera
2: mozilla
DO NOT EVER USE, EVER: netscape.

but that's just me. opera isn't free, though.

But Netscape Has Winamp Bulit In. It Also Auto Installs Plugs Like Java And Flash Mozilla Firebird IS Like Mozilla But Skinable and has a few features. Both Come W/ a Bulit In Pop-Up Blocker Netscape Dosent But it has some very useful features like Built in AIM and Winamp 2

On problem I have had w/ it when i try to stream using winamp 3 it starts using winamp 2 its ok but it dosent look cool cause im too lazy to maunaly install skins for it.

You know there is this invention called a period that you put at the end of a complete thought. It makes it easier for other to understand what it is that you are saying. You should use more of them in strategically placed locations.

Also Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird both support skining.

insomniac · 28th June 2003, 05:33

I decided to try Netscape. Does anyone know where I can get a pop-up blocker for it?

!EDIT! - Nevermind, I already uninstalled it.

Have you tried Mozilla?

insomniac · 28th June 2003, 09:28

Yes, but I have not tried Mozilla Firebird. I currently use Opera 7.11 (and IE 6 from time to time).

Merlin · 28th June 2003, 11:11

But netscape is so slow. There's just something good about pressing the 'web' button on the keyboard and having IE appear within a second.

Dlinkwit: empty your temp. internet files: go to tools, internet options, delete files. It won't delete any cookies (so you'll stay signed in to the forums).

COtto1984 · 28th June 2003, 12:10

other than cleaning my temp files, i also hit the reset web settings button, and defaults in the programs and advanced tabs to fix my problems.

dlinkwit27 · 28th June 2003, 12:51

ok, files deleted, and I am trying to figure out how to turn ad blockign off. I have norton pro. 2003

/edit. hey sweet! No crash after i deleted those files. thnx a lot guys!
