On my W 98 puter with ie 6, pages are locking up and freezing, taking
sometimes mins. to finish loading. I'm also getting fault codes: IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module MSHTML.DLL at 0187:637100af. Is the cause of the action because the 'browser' is "old" ha ? is there a fix for this? Have a new dell with Win 7. Not bad, but still use the oldie but goodie.... TIA ! |

When was the last time you encountered a valid website? 90% of the bloat that is "modern" browsers is correction code for every conceivable error on substandard sites. That said IE 6 is not my first choice on W98. I use Firefox 1.5.0.12 and Opera 9.28 and sometimes IE 5.5. Axel |

And if you're going to use IE once in a while, I don't see what the difference is between 6 and 5.5 except 5.5 will render your web-pages even worse than 6. |

IE6 (even when it works) has been doing a horrible job of rendering web-content for at least the last 5 years. Why haven't you installed firefox 2.0.0.20 and set it to be your system's default browser? Sometimes you just have to shake your head when you see people with an anvil on their head always complaining about getting headaches... |

And it had become uglier. It doesn't take much to stop me from updating. There will always be things to unlearn and relearn and there rarely are any improvements of any value to me. If and when something new becomes possible and that something new is something I want, I update like a shot. Can't remember the last time that happened. I have Firefox 8, Firefox 3.6, IE 7, Opera, Google Chrome, and Safari in the current Version on my eXPerimental computer, for checking stuff and trying stuff out, but I don't use them for anything. I don't see what the difference is between 6 and 5.5 except 5.5 will render your web-pages even worse than 6. I forget details, but wasn't IE6 the worst one of all, the one that still had all the errors but took away the workarounds to cater for them? There was something else, but I forget what. Axel |
