Anyone else pissed off at Internet Explorer 7?
Mine keeps shutting down constantly without warning. Does this happen to anyone else using IE7?

1. Yep
Mine locks up when I click on links. I have to close the whole program and a window pops up asking if I want to send an email to MS about it. Annoying as hell.

2. Pop up blocker turned on?
IE7 used to lock up on me every time I hit the Check Spelling button (which is a pop-up).

Drove me nuts.

It stopped locking up for the most part after I disabled pop-up blocking.

6. my GAWD people are still downloading IE7???
you are kidding right?

I thought it was universally accepted MONTHS ago (a year maybe now?) that IE7 was the biggest 'upgrade' disaster in a decade!

7. Guess I made a mistake downloading the upgrade
I didn't have any problems until I upgraded to 7.0.

9. Stick with Lynx
Much faster than Mosaic, and more stable than Cello

12. Well, one of the few times I use IE is when downloading...
Microsoft patches that don't get automatically dl'd. And I ALWAYS get a message saying I have to upgrade to IE5 or better no matter what browser I'm using.

IE7 came installed in this thing. It's the only IE on it, and it's the one that pops up when I do these upgrades. But I have to get IE5 or better. Go figure.

I'm tempted to find IE6 and install it.

13. Rarely ever use Exploder
There are a few sites that don't support Firefox. Other than that, I have no use for the Microsoft abomination.
