I had it happen to me a couple of times and gave up going to firefox which is slow, struggles dealing with youtube but does work somewhat. I'm forced however to use IE 9 to view youtube and other videos on line as flash works with it. I tried Chrome too but found that just impossible to use since I couldn't even get a menu bar or favorites to save in it. At least with Firefox and IE I can move favorites back and forth so both have the same things.

Hi Joe, yea I am on firefox right now too, going to try to get in the habit of using it, IE is as slow as dial up sometimes. Guess I will just have to force it to shut down.

Mak - have you tried going to "Ctrl Alt Del" and running the task manager ? You should be able to shut down IE from there.

Thanks I will try it. If you dont see me again for a while, my computer blew up. Hey this aint a trick is it...

 

[mak2]

Damn, it worked that quick. Thanks.

Yup, finally figured out how to do that.

Mak, I'd stick with Firefox.
IE sucks for the most part, but that's just my opinion.

Because it is made by Microsoft?

For some reason I can download YouTube Videos when I use the Fire Fox browser but not when they are on IE. I think it has to do with my laptop running 64 bit my old laptop runs 32 bit and I can download them when I am on IE with that laptop.
I also got the message that my Firefox "plug ins" were out of date. I updated them & then could not download YouTube Videos. So I did a system restore and can again. So outdated or not I am leaving Firefox alone.

Maybe a clue here. I presume that you are running windows 7, 64 bit. In that case, you actually have tow Internet Explorer browsers on your PC. A 32 bit and a 64 bit. The 64 bit one is quirky. In fact, there are a number of sites that will not run on it.

I am not in front of a Windows 7 machine at the moment. They should be labeled though. Try clicking help > about.

Hope this helps.
