I have heard about that firefox but have heard that its got stuff missing htat ie has. I have been useing ie since I have had a computer about 4 years ago. One thing I have thought about is the proccess that are runining in the back ground I have looked under msconfig and tried to turn off a few to make it run better but things I needed to run in the background went away. Does anybody know about that type of stuff with win xp. I was able to do it on my win me but Have a hard time figureing it out on xp. When I was in there adn looked there is a ton of stuff running and wnder if that is why its running kinda slow? Would turing off some of that stuff mkae it run and start up faster? I want to keep my norton anti virus adn firewall on of course but alot of other stuff turned off. If anybody is good with these things let me know by replying here or pm me and I can call or call me and see if we can get it configure to work better. Its ok now but needs some adjusting then it would be perfect.
