you use Mozilla Firefox as your default browser Vista has a

I'm shocked!

FF is rapidly becoming the biggest piece of crap since Vista. I
won't even run it on my linux boxes, anymore, prefering to go back
to Mozilla (Seamonkky). FF 3.0 looks even worse.

Too bad. Seamonky (as used by squertz) doesn't seem to be able to
handle some graphics.
Microsoft Internet Explorer has *ZERO* problems displaying graphics.
Hmm...if you're not an idiot and you don't peruse porn on the
internet, it works fine. Otherwise you need to use Seaspunky or
some other 3rd party garbage.
You people who advocate such 3rd party browsers and newsreaders are
always the ones who absolutely refuse to reformat your hard drives
in times of duress. Coincidence? I hardly think so.
Debate it...
Reformatting is a total pain in the ass if you use your system for
what it is designed
for--a work tool and storage place for work files. What are you
talking about?
I reformat about every 3 - 6 months. The registry tends to get clogged up
otherwise, it seems. Programs start to hang and the computer doesn't seem
as peppy as it should be. I really tax a computer, though. I do lots of
graphic work and the programs I use are so huge that they're really draining
on a machine. If I reformat every so often, it only takes a few hours and
I'm back in business.
I think what Phideaux is talking about are free 3rd party software programs
that come with all the toolbars which include adware and spyware. The
toolbars infect your machine with pop-ups as does the adware & spyware. If
you can understand the tool HiJackThis! you're a friggin' guru, but it is
effective in removing most adware & spyware from your registry. Meanwhile,
my best advice is, if you don't want to reformat your machine to clean it
out, don't click on anything FREE.
