Have you ever tried firefox? I like it a LOT better than IE. It’s a free easy download to try it. I try to keep three browsers up to date to try when things like this happen. IE, firefox, safari. (no chrome). Firefox is the main one that works best for me.
I use both IE and Firefox. Perhaps I am just not as sensitive to certain things when I browse. To me a browser is a browser. But I am curious. What improvements do you notice with Firefox?
