gottfried, because you showed an interest in the IE issue, I thought I would give you an update.
I used NN for about 8 hours and was, at first, happy. Then, they too started developing problems, ie: delays, slow downloads, etc........just like IE.
I think they didn't like me deleting all their AOL links..:)
I went back to square one, not knowing where the problem was, so I continued experimenting with Browsers.
I downloaded the Avant Browser, but that seemed like IE Jr. and may even be a IE piggyback.
Finally, I downloaded Opera and have been using it since.
It's very fast and problem free.
The only glitch is all the garbage they put on the screen.
My actual display took up only about 60% of the screen, but I've leaned that most of it can be changed or hidden.
So far, I'm a happy camper..........(version 7.23...:)
The free version, which I have, has a small ad in the upper right corner that I can't remove. (a lot like the original NerZero a few years ago).
I think their ad-free version can be purchased for about $29 and it may be worth it..........we'll see.
FWIW, I'm convinced that Microsoft is making is frustrating for people who use IE and their free services without subscribing to MSN 8 or the upgraded types of hotmail.
Little things, like never remembering my password and overall slowing.(I've even contacted their support a couple of times and only received doubletalk in return).
Tahell wifem!.........:)
