Other browsers (and email) compatible with MC.

Postby bowlesj3 » 14 Sep 2010

I am having problems with internet explorer 8.0. I gather there are at least 3 other browsers that I can use instead. Is anyone using any other browsers and finding that they work well including working well with MC? I gather the firefox browser has email as well. My understanding it is likely better than NetScape email.

Thanks,
John.

NetScape !?!?!
did you upgrade from Mosaic?


Google Chrome is good.
Opera, with its magnifying slider, is handy.

Hi TJ,
What operating system is Google Chrome running on? I am also thinking I need to reformat and reload to clean things up (it has been a while). So if anyone is using Explorer 8 and having no problems the operating system it is running on could be a factor I guess. If it is running on XP with no problems then this somewhat confirms my "need for a cleanup" theory.

Google Chrome runs on Windows XP, Vista, and 7.

Done! Very fast! Solves the problem completely!

Question:
Can I uninstall Internet explorer?
I know I have seen software that needs it to run in the past. I guess I could just take the plung and see what happens.

Congratulations! You have just taken the first step toward total Googlization of your life.
There is no turning back now...
Google will take over your email, word, excel, powerpoint, chat, voice, phone, wave, map, phone number... plus a thousand others things that you have not thought of, and they have not invented yet.

You don't have to uninstall IE. It doesn't hurt to just leave it there.

IE 9 just came out today, testing it out now, seems quicker than IE8.

Took the plung! Uninstalling IE tells you what has been installed since. Not a problem to get rid of it. I have to check out the google email.

My problem with IE8 was it could not get 1/2 of the web pages on the first try (even ones that were not this forum).
