Stupid @$$ Internet Explorer hosed...how to fix it?

[X-EvansBasher-X]

I don't know what happened, but IE 6.0.2399.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050201-1519 isn't working right anymore. When I try to download from megaupload for instance, the seconds to download do not advance. It also times out within a few minutes on almost every download. On uploads, it times out within 2-3 minutes.

This is my old PC. I'm going to redo the HD and format/fdisk in a few days...but in the meantime what's going on? I had that evil ATP adware/spyware installed but stomped it. What's up? How do I fix IE? I could install Mozilla but I have to move all my bookmarks & several of my ASP projects; IE is tied into my system.

firefox will automatically move all your bookmarks for you. its easier just to get used to firefox then wipe everything and start over.

Firefox is a much better browser.

Would it help if yet another person chimed in that Firefox is great?

[Ahkei]

no it wouldnt but....

yes...firefox is better

but seriously....backup all your favorites and whatever else in IE then find a disc or download the setup on ms's site...then install anew


IE is still good in a way....My autoCAD 2006 wont run w/o the latest IE

[Mikey_]

[jokester15]

instead of backing up all you bookmarks just go to the edit bookmark page and copy and paste the link in to firefox then bookmark that, thats what i did so when i go to bookmarks it has Edit your bookmarks then i click that and i have all my bookmarks instead of havign to trasnfer 50 something favorites.

That's exactly why you need firefox...

[Articwolf]

lmao....too annoying for ya....i dont care to much for the glow myself..it has to go over a colored name and not clash for it to look good...cookiemonster has a good one.
