IE 4.0
Keith M. Chadwick
Has anyone else had any problems with other programs crashing when booting
the computer.
I didn't have this problem until I installed IE 4.0.
How do ya'll think IE 4.0 compares to Netscape Communicator beta 3? I
would have really enjoyed beta 2, if it would have quit crashing.

Hey Wake up!
Beta copies should always be takin with caution and expect problems. If you
think when you install new software that nothing goes wrong then think
again. IE 4.0 is a big upgrade and should not be loaded unless you
understand the issues that may arise. For instance, Active X will cause
ie4.0 to crash at times and if you continue to browse webs sites that use
this tech, then you will crash again. So keep list of problems and avoid
problem sites for that they are plenty of webs to read same info without
the active x. Also ie 4.0 will crash when shuttting down or booting at
random times. i have used ie4.0 for forty hours and not had too much of
problem. I continue to monitor the news groups and somtimes laugh what i
read. IE 4.0 is also a plat form release and not a beta which can be more
unstable then beta or alpha. I love ie4.0 and hope updates and new
components will continue to be updated. Microsoft has a great product
coming and should have had this before windows95. good job ms hope you keep
the work torward integration. I also love how news and mail work fast and
simple.

I was impressed with a lot of things, too. It did not crash on me. I
found it to be faster than Netscape, and the program did find and use my
Netscape bookmarks. It also used my Netscape directory to write a news
directory which now has pointers to it under Netscape. Therein lies one
of my sources of discomfort, if you will. I know this is more of a
desktop program, and is probably a precursor to an OS which will be web
ready, and have all the readers inherent in its design, but I was not
ready for how much control it took away from my OS (NT4.0 WkSta). I
finally read a little and figured out how to browse in my own computer,
which is what it essentially does. Personally, I like more of my own
control, and don't think I need the PC to do everything on its own. So,
I finally removed IE4.0 after 4 days.As a BETA, I think it worked very
well on my system. I am impressed. Still, it isn't quite what I want, so
I'll stick with cludgey old Netscape 3.02.

I have to DISAGREE on that one...IE40 added control if anything. Learn
HTML (easy) or use frontpad (easier but not as effective) and you can make
your own desktop interface! Java helps even more but would take a lot of
work to be useful...
