Hi Charlie and thx for your reply though, unfortunantely it seems you've not
been following this thread, or my other one. If you had you would know that
my motherboard is a A8V, Via based chipset, thus it has no NV firewall.
Besides, I can download from any other website, including those that use
active-x, it is only MS that has the problems. Anyhow, thanks again for your
contribution, three heads are better than one, including Andre's help as
well....

sorry, you're right, I didn't read further up the thread. Just checking for
new messages, saw the description, and replied. My bad -- I should have read
more carefully.

God no, overated, overstated and just as insecure and I wonder if it will
still have no access to certain websites. I'm sure IE 7.0 won't be long....

Priest: "Out damned microsoft -- begone from that computer." (He then holds
a penguin towards the computer and covers his eyes because the light is so
bright)

-Rob
(running BOTH Windows XP x64 edition, and Fedora Core 4 Linux, x86_64
edition.)

Take my other suggestion -- go to redhat.com, download fedora "x86_64"
edition (it's free, but it doesn't really run windows programs, but it's
better than youe PC being a $400 doorstop). If you download it, I recommend
using the bittorent download route, as downloading the intsall DVD image was
a lot easier that way.

Actually, in the not too distant future, unless IE Upgrades, there will be
quite a number of sites that require Firefox and won't run on IE.

For example the <CANVAS> tag (which allows drawing on the screen from a
Javascript script) is only supported in Firefox and some other Mac-only
browser. Intenret explorer won't yet be able to display those pages. I saw
a web page designed with the <CANVAS> tag that allowed moving through a web
page like you would a game of DOOM, the ideaas this allows for the future of
the web are open to the imagination of the creators. If Internet Explorer
doesn't keep up, well, it will fall back to what the generically included
tools in operating systems have always been refered to as -- cheap cr*p.

Hi Rob and thx for your replies. Nope, wouldn't go near with anything you
have suggested, no way would I put any versions of Linux on my PC as it is,
like Firefox, overblown and overstated and of no use to me. As for my £400
PC being a doorstop, LOL. My PC would cost well over a £1000, possibly even
£2000 and it will play any game, run any application till the cows come
home. However, some success, perhaps your exocism did work. In valudation I
now get that it isn't supported for this version of windows or for this
non-Microsoft OS, hehe, now that's laugh, and, and downloads WORK!!!!
End of story, I hope
Thx again.....

I didn't say anything about Linux below and have no idea where your comments
are coming from. I was talking about firefox on windows.
