Msie 5.5 Sp1

Don't ask I have not installed it yet. I have to do a complete backup first.

Downloaded and Installed on Win2k here Seems to be working fine. Thanks for the link Tram

After downloading it I went to the Product Updates and I found this new ...

"Internet Explorer Error Reporting"

Its supposed to give you a popup description of any errors you get and give you the option of sending your problem request to M$, and or find you a workaround. This way making you a part of the IE development team.

Kinda cool that, but it makes ya wonder if Bill needs some cheap employees huh lol

You know something that I have often thought about... If they know the errors and in this case sounds like the have some deal that will help you to *report it* why in the hell ain't it fixed?

Didn't Netscape have a similar "feature" in v4.6 (I'm using it) which everyone turned off anyway? "Netscape Quality Feedback Agent" would pop up if/when you had any sort of app error.

Gone from latter versions so NS obviously thought it wasn't such a hot idea.
M$ should learn a few MORE lessons from Netscape!

ya netscape did have it and I also turned it off,and now unfortunately im not using netscape anymore,I miss it but with all the lock ups and crashes it just not worth using anymore.
I would get a whole page of replies done then use spell checker and it would preform a illegal action and poof it was all gone,I dont have this problem with IE,and its a really shame I still think IE5.5 sp1 is still over inflated.
so yes I did download the newest IE5.5 SP1 and the first thing that happened is it locked up after it installed.
I dont like that option that well.

...some add ons for your browser. I think that "related" has been a part of MSIE for a while. Alexa has a cool add on at that link. Lets you get a behind the sceens look at a web site, who the page is regestered to as well as how much traffic it gets etc.
