Anyone else had hassles since upgrading to it?

Constantly freezing up on me at random while browsing, but one of the worst sites I have problems accessing is here ???????????

Anyone else having problems with it or is it just my machine? I also have installed IEAK for ver 6 but they went in pretty much the same time so I cant tell if this is related.

I played with it when it was still in Beta but it caused many problems. I do not plan to upgrade until I hear that its more stable and widely compatible with heavily encrypted finance sites. I, too, will stick with my IE 5.5 and Opera.

Yeah, I'm using my install of opera right now.

Wish I'd stayed with 5.5 too but I wanted to mess around with ieak.

One of the most annoying things is it wants to send an error report to microsoft every time it crashes and I cant find a config setting to tell it to pack it in!

Hmmm, I think clean install time is looming once again, ugh, itll take me a week to get everything set up software wise!

I havent got time for being a ******* microsoft beta victim!

Yup, I played with IE6 on a play PC. I really, really, really dislike the way that Microsoft app updates mess with the system dll's.

No way I'd put IE6 on a PC that I care about.

I dunno. I have actually not played a game since the upgrade I've been so busy. Plus the PS2 and Dreamcast are right next to me so...

Rainbow Six won't run on Windows 2000 :( but Rogue Spear will :).

No drivers for my Philips Vesta FunCam for Windows 2000. I'm trying to get it running on my Linux box. I may open a thread asking for help if I don't figure it out soon.
