Hi mylotters I'm close to a vista noobie, and I kind of need help -_-;;
So yes, I'm using windows vista right now, and this didn't happen a while ago, until just now. I think it's just my habit of just click and holding the text, and dragging it to another spot. But whenever I do that (on mylot page) the vista crap just shows the dialog box that says "Windows Internet Explorer has stopped working" and gives two options (ck for problem and restart program) and (restart program) and then after I actually restart the program, it throws another dialog box saying that Adobe Reader 8.1 has stopped working with two same options (I'm not even using adobe reader... what's it talking about? -_-) is it just vista or am I actually doing something wrong...? please share your thoughts.. any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks and happy mylotting..

Try using Firefox. It is much more reliable and much much more secure.
There are not as many issues with it as IE. We used to suggest it to customers when I worked at a major computer company.

I should've actually installed firefox in the first place... why I really didn't have too much concerns and problems using firefox, but then again, there are some websites I surf to, which does not support firefox (I couldn't figure out why) yeah, thanks for reminding me about firefox.. can't believe I forgot about it! ugh..

my gosh... I'm actually surprised that some of the mylotters (like you) actually hate i.e lol yeah, I guess I should quit using i.e 7 and start using firefox and opera... I used opera too and I actually liked it (at least it is sooooo much better than i.e) thanks for your suggestion and thanks for reminding me about opera (and firefox, kind of)

I think that is a problem of IE and Vista.. you should consider a change to Ubuntu OS and start using Firefox.. Firefox is way better than any other browser.. IE is over rated.. people know IE because comes with Windoze.. If you like so much Windoze then just install Firefox and start browsing a new experience.. take my advice my friend..

Yeah, I can't believe I forgot about using firefox... I used to use firefox back in the day with my old laptop, but since I got a new laptop, I just focused too much on online gaming, and haven't even thought about installing firefox.. thanks for reminding me about firefox and i really can't believe I forgot about firefox!! (shame on me) T_T
