I installed it on my mom's computer yesterday in an effort to get her computer up to date and eliminate the prompts she gets for updates. Then I was unable to download some files she needed from a business vendor. When I clicked to download on one link of their website, a different link would come up instead. After calling tech support, they said the problem is with IE 7's new scripting and lots of websites were having problems interacting with it. So, to solve this problem I have to uninstall IE 7 and reinstall IE 6.

Anyone else encountered this kind of trouble?

Switch to Mozilla Firefox....come to the light! ;)

Over the years I have used all the browsers and can't say that I've had any real problems with any of them.

Other than obvious hardware failures, most of the time when someone is having problems with their machine, it is usually the interface between the chair and the keyboard.

Some people like to install every piece of ***** software they come across, or hit the p0rn sites, shopping sites, crappy music sites/software etc. excessively and then can't understand why there machine is slow or acting wierd.

Easy enough to just blame M$.

Personally, I think it's all Bush's fault as a result of what he inherited from Clinton.

Agree with most (except the vista part), and especially regarding the chair/keyboard interface.

My problem with vista is the totally new network stack. The old one is battle-hardened, but ms wants to get through your NAT to have control of DRM (meaning Money). Guess it boils down to a definition of a problem: I consider attacks on my privacy to be a BIG problem.

Sorry for the terse answer - have to get out of here.

Merry Christmas to all!!

This won't be just a PC Monitor issue, TVs without HDCP, also known as most TVs in North America, are subject to the exact same problem.
