I got IE 7 when the upgrade pop-up came. But my Roxio DVD Builder stopped working. After doing research, I learned that I had to downgrade to the old IE for my stuff to work. I used to use Firefox, but found that it would not open certain functions on certain pages. You may want to up grade to IE 7. I've gotten that time ran out message too. Did you guys upgrade the website? Put it back! | ||

If you had seen the errors in the preview, you wouldn't need to change them. Also, what if you read something that you posted, and decide that it was totally irrelevant to the thread? (like this) | ||

Joined: December 2006 Posts: 10 Location: Spain | Well, I'm a member of the K-Meleon browser development team. We have a free amazing browser based on Mozilla and similar to Firefox, but with a pair of important difference (and I'm not talking about the skin). K-Meleon runs on the older laptop you can find, I've tested it on old (vintage?) 486 and runs smoothly. It's so minimal the resources needed to run that it can work anywhere, it requires just 5 Mb of RAM to run. But this is not the best. It runs and loads the webs faster than any other browser and under any computer you want to try. Firefox is currently overloaded with useles tools that slows down it, K-Meleon not. But don't think this is a blank browser just for slow computers, has some interesting features as an integrated translator that does not eat any resource because it just redirects your query to Babel Fish web page and shows the answer (yeah, call it a leecher :) ) Also is completely customizable at your desire. I wish you all could take a look to this creature running on a Pentium II 350 Mhz faster than most of my friends ultra expensive sci-fi computers under Internet Explorer or Firefox. So just imagine it running on a modern computer! It flyes, man! You can check it out at the official international web here (just remember to download the 1.02 version and not the experimental 1.1 alpha version, at least until the final 1.1 version it's finished): http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/ Or my spanish version at my web page: | ||
