A trait of Internet Explorer

One that has increased over time since the initial release of IE4...

Your not alone. IE is pushy. So is M$ corp

M$ get hits whenever you get a address failure. Whenever you start up ie, it connects to the m$ web site and does something at the ie site. I havn't got to the bottom of what it does, M$ deny it.

Try diabling your secrity settings. Go throught the advenced tab and check throught all the options to make sure that they are relevant to you and not M$.

If it wont work, just Ctrl + N and it probably will.

If not upgrade to the latest IE version from the windows update site...

Most of us have heard stories about how society treated wayward women and unwed mothers long ago. Somewhere along the line a programmer has heard some of these stories and hit upon ostracism as a deterrent to software piracy. There is a definate and demonstrable bias against people who have installed their Windows on several hard drives before they put it on their own, and special software picks this up on the internet.
Have you had an information services bar that was black and empty on your installation?
I never thought of absent pages, but I have found no forums occupied on Compuserv. Ebay never completes my application due to a revolving door. I could complain to the Better Business Bureau on Ewanted's approach and may. I e-mailed Jinco Computers and asked a question about power supplies. They never answered. I bought one from them over the telephone, and they then emailed me.
I tell you, letting "Bill" spring for your Windows is spoiling your internet experience. You really need to know this--assuming it is true.
