For some unknown reason, when I tried to post before I decided I didn't really want to see what I wrote so I exited the window. It didn't seem to like this and proceeded to open 150 new internet explorer windows. Anyone know why exactly? Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

IE hates you and wants you to suffer. Alternatively, maybe you leaned on the keyboard and accidentally held down the key combination to open a new window. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

It's really not that hard to lean on a key so that it repeats a bunch of times, especially if your key repeat rate is at the fastest setting. Of course, I'm assuming these are blank windows. If they were ads, then presumably some really horrible form of spyware would be to blame. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

No, I know I wasn't leaning on any key. Also it was the page that it was taking me back to that opened 150 times so maybe it just didn't like me not wanting to see it and wanted revenge or something. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

Was it *exactly* 150, or is that just an approximation? -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

It's just an approximation because I had my taskbar settings on not grouping and I closed about 50 of them and then I changed the settings to group and it was at 100 so I guess it was around there. I had to alt ctrl delete and end the process to stop the damn thing. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

I don't know if you are interested, but you can get such programs from the CDs that come with computer magazines. You would have to check regularly, until you hit on something you want to have, and then buy the magazine. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

quote:lol, you gave yourself a black mark. :P For me, I got MSN Explorer because the people at MSN told us to while setting up our Internet connection. We thought we needed it for the Internet to work, and it was a 25MB download, which took nearly 6 hours, and we probably never even needed it. Oh well, we stayed with it, and now I've come to like it more than IE. But I've heard Firefox is pretty darn cool. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Indeedy. Writing this from Firefox after switching from nearly 5 years of Opera (six months ago). Never made a better decision, and Opera is still miles better than IE. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Firefox is indeed the best browser available to me at this point, but I'm holding out hope for Camino to surpass it for the Mac. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

I prefer plain old Mozilla to Firefox. It's more stable, and occasionally I need to use other Mozilla Suite features like Composer (which produces about the cleanest HTML of any HTML editor I know of). -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Hey Safari users: is there anyway to get downloaded PDFs to open inside a Safari window a la IE? That's the one thing that annoys me about Safari. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |
