you use Mozilla Firefox as your default browser Vista has a

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.

I've never had to reformat a hard drive in my life. Your husband has
you brainwashed into thinking that's the way it should be. Or maybe
he (or his cousin/uncle/whatever) d/l's too much crap so you just
have to. I don't have the system problems you folks seem to run
into. Go figure!

I've always reformatted this often; way before TFM®. We both think alike,
though.
