    Default 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 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.

    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?

    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...
