Explorer is rubbish. I ditched it a while back. Firefox is much better.

MSN messenger is so annoying too, it's keeps freezing, chucking me offline, signing me in an older version of itself.......it's got a mind of it's own AAAAAGGGHHHHHH

How do I change it so I use something other than internet explorer? and does it cost?

People need to be careful with IE all the time regardless. Its so easy to have problems using it. Its a hideous browser anyways and its always worth getting a different one (with tabbed browsing).

I know people usually go straight to Firefox but Opera is also free and a really great browser. I've used it for years and love it. It also has loads of little built in extras you have to download as plugins for Firefox. And some things new to Firefox that people are impressed with Operas being doing for years.

Plus (for the geeks out there) its actually quicker than Firefox.

Not sure what OS you are using but probably 'Edit - Preferences' Have a look in the bar at the top, its defo in the preferences option somewhere. I'm on a Mac atm and its different than Windows.

I have Firefox cos there are certain websites that I can't view properly in IE, but most of the time I just use IE.

If I knew how to get all my bookmarks into Firefox then I would use that. Tried importing them but it doesn't work

I stopped using IE a while back as I was getting a load of viruses etc.
I use firefox now which is better.

I've got loads of stuff saved into my favourites on IE - is there a way to transfer it all over to another browser?

Wooo hopefully its still something you are liking.

I keep Firefox as a back up in case some sites won't load but otherwise I'm on Opera all the time. Its been my browser of choice for almost a decade now.
