All this talk about computer problems and guess what?....I have a problem.
Something happened to IE this morning. I was on for about an hour everything was fine. Logged off, came back and BOOM!, couldn't get back online. After a couple of hours troubleshooting, and cause my Weather Channel desktop was still working,I came to the conclusion that the problem was with IE. I had actually figured..OK..Kinda figured it was IE, but I couldn't even log on to get FireFox.(It was that bad). The only way I could get on was to actually go to the Microsoft Download website(There I could go to other web sites). I downloaded IE8(its free...Why not!).
I'll tell you what....I'm impressed!. Pages are loading quicker. Speed has increased at least two fold....This thing is smoking now!
Then I started to wonder....If IE7 was designed to go bad at a certain time, or when a newer version was released, just to make you download the newest version.Conspiracy Theory? Maybe?
