Is anyone else having any problems with Internet Explorer?
I've had nothing but problems for about a week now and finally down loaded Netscape7.1

I.E. would only let me have open one window at a time. The address bar would not remember web sites I had visited for quick reference and "My Favorites" lost everything in it and would not let me book mark any more.

So far I am having no problems with Netscape.

Msdrby and I have been using Netscape for some time now. Works great, and the multiple "tabs" are really neat.

We are not having any troubles with netscape either. Seems to me to be a better browser than explorer. More able to be customized. Some things still have to use IE, but for the most part we don't use it anymore. It's too much of a hassle.

I'm using Internet Explorer and not having any problems like that. Usually if I want to open more than one window I just go to the page that's open and under File I click "New: Window"; or else I click on the IE icon and it opens another window; is that how you do it? On the address bar the first thing I'd do is check your settings under "Tools: Options: History: Days to keep pages in history"; if that's not the problem I don't know what it might be. Not sure about the "My Favorites" thing, either; the only problem I've ever had with that is when Lop.com hijacked my browser and added a bunch of favorites links which I can't get rid of now. You might try scanning with an anti-spyware program in case you have something like Lop on your system. Those are just some suggestions based on my very limited experience; maybe someone who knows more about IE will have better suggestions.
