Before re-install or modifying your FF setup: 1. Make sure you have latest Java JRE & Flash updates. 2. consider creating a new profile for FF to test since FF stores AddOn's per-user. Adding " -profilemanager" (sans-quotes) to the FF shortcut displays the profile manager rather than jumping i

Didn't they use to call that forcing a drive into "dos-compatibility mode" or something? I think there was a reg hack you had to do to reset things back to normal. About the paddle card... Does the BIOS have a setting for "Boot from SCSI"? (It would be an emulation, and actually use the card and

Hey, I have an older p-III system running XP pro where the HDs will not come out of PIO mode. I have tried all of the various BIOS tweaks, removing the controller from device manager, etc. This is killing the performance. My daughter uses this for surfing, email, etc. Nothing major. Any

IF you have not added any plug-ins or add-ins yet that would block them from working, --- just browse around and FF will ask to install what you need as it sees it needs it. IF you are already running "NoScript" or something designed to "controll" this type of thing, you need to learn how to "con

To answer your question the way "I'd do it" ONLY If IE7 is working, keep it. Patch it... Don't use it... "Add" anything you want... FF, etc... IF you un-install IE7, you will revert to the version that came "built-in" with your OS. Likely IE6. BUT then you will have to patch that as high as you c
