Hi.

Been having this behaviour for some time now...IE 5.1 keeps on freezing while loading GIF`s. Is there anything i can do to prevent this?
OS.9.1.x

there has been much discussion here of this bug in IE. i think the "temporary workaround" that was come up with for people who foolishly were obsessed with continuing to use ie despite all its specific functional problems and the [rather horrific] broad social ramification of doing so was to turn off cache or some such nonsense. you can search the forum.

alternatively, you can use any number of other superior browsers, and feel good about protecting the environment at the same time.

Thanks for your reply!

You don`t like IE much...do you?
I`ve tried the turn of cache ting...no good, did`nt help a bit.
I would not mind switching to another browser either, but i have not found anyone which is better than IE...at least not under OS.9.1.x.

If you have any suggestions...?

Tried numerous versions of netscape and they all download fast, but they seem to operate "sluggishly". Tried iCab some time ago, it was pretty good, but it also made me reinstall my system after a few days. Tried that Mozilla v.X something and it deleted all my bookmarks ( )

I guess none of them them can be all good, eh?

I`ll search the forums...thanks again

Tom.
