My big fat obnoxious Internet Explorer 6

[alexxx]

Hi, everytime I connect to the internet a message comes up
that says "explorer has committed an error in <unknown>
explorer will now close" I click on close and everything
is fine. BUT, a few minutes later my computer freezes
when I click on anything on the window, a link, the back
button, the search button, history, etc. it freezes and I
have to reboot. If I again connect to the internet the
same happens. for a while my computer is fine, but later
it freezes. This only happens when I press something.
Any idea of what is going on?

THX.

hijacked. there always is mozilla.org 'firefox'.

Use a better browser... umm like Mozilla 1.6 that has tabbed browsing and
works properly with standards set by www.w3.org

Everyone that programs for the web has to put out extra effort to support
IE, thus if you visit sites that are selling something, they charge you more
to support all the trouble IE costs them.

For example, IE reports "png" and "jpeg" MIME types as "image/x-png" and
"image/pjpg" instead of the standard set by www.w3.org which are "image/png"
and "image/jpeg." That means that when you upload those files, programmers
must check for extra, "made-up" MIME types or check the actually extention
on the file.

Why did M$ do this? Because "png" and "jpeg" was an idea they could not buy
or steal from someone and claim it as their own idea (like they do with
everything else they brag about). So they are being disgruntle about it and
throwing standards right out the door. It has been this way since IE 4.0.
They know it and could of easily changed it to the standard.

M$ is just like a spoiled little rich kid tearing up his toys, so he doesn't
have to share them with the other kids.
