Anything but IE

SoberTillNoon · Oct 21, 2006, 11:01 AM

Is anyone having trouble using anything else besides IE to connect to the net. Any other browsers on my machine perform poorly to the point that I will use IE some times. My antivirus will time-out before any updates are downloaded. I am using build 5744.

I have tried with two different network adapters. I have tried with different wall plugins. I have had windows check for a problem. Nothing I have tried has made it any better for the non-native apps.

If Opera won't work well, I'm certain that Firefox will be adjusted when the final release of the Vista hits the stores. Open source software and all...

Opera and a few of Mozilla/Netscape based web browsers that i have tried using them on Vista since the Beta 2 up until the 5744 builds all are working okay. pages loading time and download files are same as using them under XP.

I am not saying that anything is wrong with the the browsers or anyting else that connects to the net. I was wondering if something was misconfigured or if it is something I can fix. In RC1 build something greater than 5600, everything was working smoothly once I made windows fix the problem.
