Default Is MS losing it? IE 7 almost as bad as Vista

And even more relevant for Microsoft is the fact that even with IE7 on
the market, it has continued to lose its grip over the browser market
dropping from over 80% in 2006 to 77.35%, while Firefox grew to an
estimated 16.01%.
I didn't even know what browser version I had - I've got IE 7.

Works for me.

I have IE7, but it keeps freezing up and then shutting down. I think it
has to do with security settings and my anti-virus, there are also some
web sites that just will not open in IE7 or won't allow me to log on, yet
when I use go to Firefox it opens right up.


I think you need to take some Computer 101 classes Reggie.



Well I guess I will have to ask the expert. JimH, why do some web sites
not allow me to log on or freeze up when I go there? I thought it might
have been in the security settings, so in my Trusted Sites, I have
changed all of the default security settings from "disallow" to
"prompt". I have left all of the "Internet" security settings to the
default. Why does it work with Firefox and not IE7?
