Tried the microsoft panacea for all ills ........reboot........to no avail!

Hmmm Chrome and Firefox look the same, but IE7 still better
well that's definitely odd, especially as any settings for IE should have tracked across.
however that said, it depends as i mentioned before on how paranoid you want to be.
some people might think its a storm in a teacup, but knowing what i can do, and i am nowhere near as good a cracker as these criminals, i ain't trusting my sensitive stuff to IE for the duration. In fact i never do, all my banking and gaming, and website security is done on FF.
thanks Bride. I will just have to get used to the difference.
hopefully it wont be for long, the update will come out as soon as possible, although its that part that worries me, microsoft do seem to rush updates and patches and they can cause all sorts of problems when they do.
But i am sure if you keep an eye on the situation via google we will soon know when IE7 is considered safe again ( if ever )
Well,I've dutifully installed Firefox(my icon is of a curled up fox with a firey tail tho'~not a planet!??have got the right thing?).Ditto others posts that the font is different...not keen & not sure how to change.Also,had to reinstal flash player for CBeebies to work....done all on my own I might add!!!(O.K...I somehoo managed to download it 5 times but it's an improvement on phone a friend!)....My other problem tho is I can no longer right click the edge to get page up/down????...any ideas?
OH!!& is their somewhere to store favourites?

font can be changed in the options.
not sure what you mean by 'right click the edge' (edit: do you mean down on the task bar?)
and faves is bookmarking in firefox.
Cool!!I just got a "ping" to let me know you'd replied to my post(or maybe t'was a coincidence?)
With IE I can right click at the edge of the page to return to the top of the page....with this I'm having to manually scroll up or down....lazy I know...but you get used to little timesavers!

never knew you could do that to be honest i always use my mouse wheel to scroll
If I remember correctly,I think it was Piskie that taught me that one!??
I've sussed that if I hold my spacebar down...then it takes me to the bottom of the page & I think the top arro on keyboard takes me to the top?...got the beginnings of arthritis in my fingers,so scrolling gets a tad painful after a while!
