So long, and thanks for all the fish. Group: Site Staff Posts: 15788 Member No.: 2267 Joined: 2-July 06 Status: (0d)	So I recently changed to Internet Explorer 7. It's all fine and dandy, but for some reason, it's making all the text look wierd, and it hurts my eyes. I read during installation that I can easily un-install it, but I need to figure out how. Or at least tell me how to make the text normal. And no, I'm not switching to using Firefox or Opera or whatever crap you people use. --------------------

Get something that isn't Microsoft made by someone who actually CARES about the people in front of their screens wanting some PROPER Internet browsing utility. -------------------- a more suitable ref (sunglasses not compulsory!) bye oldmfgg ;O;

You can go to www.microsoft.com and search Internet Explorer 6.

Give it a shot.

Yeah, it's like they took firefox, and re-arranged it.

True.

I wish I could keep the features of IE7(Tabs, Toby's sig not appearing as a big white box, etc.), but with the interface of IE6.
