IE died! – jestermax

I find that often the easiest way to fix problems in windows is to "start over". Something not working, restart computer. Still not working? Reinstall the program. Sure there are "easier" ways of fixing problems, but that requires you to know a)exactly what is wrong, b)how to fix it. Often that can take longer than you have the time for. ------------------ quit posting on CCN? nope. I havn't been driven off yet.

They're working with MS to make Firefox run properly on Vista. Not make Windows Vista. quote: ukhackster writes "Relations between Microsoft and the open source community may be thawing. The Mozilla Foundation has just welcomed the offer of help to get Firefox working properly in Vista, and Microsoft has also insisted it will help non-IE browsers work with Windows Live. Is this the start of better collaboration, or just a sign the Microsoft has learned its lesson from the antitrust battles?" ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2 [This message has been edited by CPUFreak91 (edited August 26, 2006).]
