IE problems


Question Posted Saturday October 13 2007, 10:31 pm

I switched from IE to Firefox. The only trouble is, my MSN seems to still want to run on IE. I don't know how to change that, or if it even can be changed.
It wouldn't be a problem, except when I close my hotmail, I get an error message saying to send an error report. I don't know how to fix this.
I wouldn't bother fixing it if I could get my MSN messenger/mail to run on Firefox.
Is that even possible? If not, how would I fix whatever is wrong with IE?

Thanks for your time, theymos! :)

No, that's not possbile. Microsoft makes MSN, and they want you to use IE, so they don't allow you to use other browsers.

To stop those annoying error messages system-wide, go to start, run. Type:

services.msc

and press enter. On the list on the right side of the window, find "error reporting". Right click it and click "properties". On the dropdown, change "automatic" to "disabled". Click ok on everything. Disabling error reporting doesn't have any negative effect in XP; vista has some extra support features that this will disable.

You can use Pidgin or Miranda instead of MSN, they have all of the same features and you can talk to your friends who use MSN, AOL, yahoo, myspace IM, and google talk, all from one program:
