Problems With Internet Explorer

[MountainMan]

I have been having the devil of a time logging on to this forum with Internet Explorer. Most often my computer locks up and I end up re-booting. Not sure where the exact problem lies because it was working fine at first, and this is my wife's laptop while the "big boy" is in the shop being de-Chernoblyed, but I downloaded Firefox and viola` - zee problem she is sol-ved!! Plus, there are some serious problems being talked about regarding Internet Explorer which Microsoft has yet to fix.

(Firefox also comes with a sorely needed spellchecker for me, as well...)
