Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Chess Titans + Internet Explorer = Freeze, always
A few days ago I was playing Chess Titans, and then I opened up Internet Explorer. Within a few seconds, Vista froze. Couldn't move the mouse, CTRL-ALT-DEL didn't work. A hard reset was required. Now today I was playing Chess Titans, and I tried opening up Internet Explorer. Again, the system froze within a few seconds. Forget IE, next time I hope I remember to open up Firefox instead. Hi, Try running IE without addons enabled. Just type "internet" into the start/search line and you will see that it is one of the options.

It took me a long time, but I finally switched from IE to FF and I like it much better. FF has tons of add-ons and they work. It even has an add-on called IE tab for sites that require IE, which are very few, and displays them flawlessly. FF is now my default browser, and IE is only there for backup.

But for the Vista computer, I wanted to give IE7 a chance, as it supposedly has a lot better security. Do you think FF is still better security-wise than IE7? No question about it. Even by default it's more secure, but then if you go through all of the security add-ons you can basically lock it down. Then there's all the add-ons that improve functionality, and all these add-ons work, no more coming here for the usual "disable your add-ons one by one" rhetoric.

Again, the system froze within a few seconds. Works OK here. I frequently have both open for days at a time. |
