So Internet browsers suck

Ok, so I recently had to redo my computer cause I'm a dumb ass and deleted things I needed to run my computer.
I've redone it installed the pci so I can get to the internet. But IE won't load to a screen where I can browse the internet, it keeps telling me to subscribe to some bull:skull::skull::skull::skull: isp which I refuse, I already have one. So, IE wont let me get to firefox, which is where I want to be. So, I'm stuck using Netscape.
Netscape will let me get to firefox, but after I click on download, it takes me to the page to download, but doesn't show what I need to download, just words and links to other part sof the site. WTF, help me fix this.

8.3 seconds.

wish I had known that was there -_-' I opened the link and it automatically asked me if I wanted to download it.

TY! Mirage, you're my new best friend....Sorta. Unless you want to be! ;c)

No thanks, but the position for 61st best friend is currently vacant.

T_T That's good enough I suppose.

I don't quite understand how people manage to delete such important things that are required to actually make Windows work. But yeah, IE sucks, Firefox is good.

I was deleting a bunch of emulators from my Windows file, and accidently selected a file that shouldn't have been selected.

Why did you store your emulators in your windows folder?

He must play the games in windowed mode.

I'm a recent Firefox convert (I tried to use it many times but got really uncomfortable and longed for IE), but despite that, I started using it when a friend started sending me links via MSN, and the Firefox window kept popping up, so I decided to give it a try. I really like it and would recommend it to anyone.

My IE keeps crashing for no apparent reason... :confused:

Jokes like that make Explorer cry... :cry:

Poor Kane, no one laughed. But I did, somewhere deep down inside! :(

I laughed at it.

I thought it was supposed to be almost impossible to delete IE? That's why nerds bend over backwards trying to do it?

I must be behind on the times.

Why do they try to get rid of it? Can't they live with it being on their system and just using a different browser?

:confused:

I guess the hard thing is to get rid of it and still make XP work.

They have a lot of rage built up.

It wasn't IE that was deleted, it was windows files, and the emulators were in windows temp file and out side of the file as well. It was a big oopsies. Also, the reason IE wasn't working is because I redid my computer which made it think that I didn't have an ISP, and IE was trying to make me get one. I got around it though, by accepting an offer and then declining. It finally decided to let me on.

In the temp folder, you mean? Why on earth were they in there?

I couldn't tell you, I had just downloaded them and I couldn't find them, so I downloaded them two more times before I did a file search and found them in the Windows folder and the TEMP folder.

Internet Explorer was trying to make you sign up for an ISP?

Are you sure that wasn't MSN Explorer? That's kinda weird.

When you install Windows, as soon as you open IE for the first time it will give you the "New Connection Wizard". It's not trying to make you sign up for an ISP, it's trying to set up a DUN connection for your computer.

You can try it out for yourself: start > run > "inetwiz". :p

Lan > next > next > uncheck email > next > finish

:)

I suppose many inexperienced users don't understand that they're connected to the modem over a regular LAN.
