IE7 issues, page 2

You had issues with firefox? I am blown away by this as I have read so many testaments from people who were so glad they switched. I have yet to have a problem with FF after using it for approx 4 years now. The only thing was early on you had to dump your old version before loading a newer version as the load over didn't work real well. However, now the updated versions load right over no problem. Other than that I have nothing but great things to say about firefox. I wouldn't go back to IE at gunpoint!

As for Vista, I have not been misled. In fact I have not been led at all. Maybe I 'm wrong but I am just doing this waiting period on my own and don't really read much about Vista at all. I usually give new OS's at least a year before trying them. Just my way I guess and I would imagine you are correct if loading it onto machines that don't have the capacity to run it. Makes sense!

I would definitely give firefox another try as I would be so bold as to say your issue was a fluke of some sort. The only issues I see now are that it's becoming so popular that the sinister faction will start attacking it specifically in the same ways they do IE now. Thankfully I haven't seen these problems yet.

I've been getting the same problem occasionally as well. I think it's from some of the new ads(since the problem is with flashplayer), I will have to make a note of which ads are up next time this happens.

This appears to be an increasingly widespread problem. Lots of good detail here.

So, um, is there a way to fix it?

Your statement is reasonable in narrowing the flash9b.ocx conspiracy. But, I just had the flash ocx error alert come up and get this, I had another 2nd tab open in focus with 2 occurances of other webpages running with ATS running on the 1st original tab in the background unfocused. The ATS page suddenly came to the front focus, the 2nd tab session went to back focus and the flash9b.ocx error appeared on top of the ATS page.

I still suspect a rotated flash ad on ATS caused this. I did try to scroll up to see which ad was on the ATS screen but because the flash error locks the browser, I could not identify the ad.

Don't use IE and download firefox----it's free.
The problem is with adobe flash, and it is a well known problem discussed on a few threads.
I love firefox, it is stable, customizable, and free. Just for the security alone it should be everyones favorite.
The only problem with it is it loads slower than IE, as IE has it's fingers all through the operating system.
But what is a few seconds in comparison to having to restart explorer over and over again?
Once it is loaded, it runs faster, safer, and with much less problems.

I upgraded the flash player to the latest so called flash9e stable version with no luck. I still received a flash9e.ocx error on ATS. The old version player I had installed, suddenly showed flash9b.ocx around two and half, three weeks ago. The next newer version was flash9d.ocx to the now latest version flash9e.ocx which only throws up the error while on ATS. I never get the error on google or youtube or other websites with flash playing.

I tend to talk about a long while ago as if it was yesterday. When I first tried Firefox it was fairly new I think. I can see its different now.

I'm sure your right about it being better to wait but I needed a new laptop and they all had Vista. I've had zero issues other than crappy drivers which has nothing to do with the OS. I would not put it on a cheap laptop though. Vista is a hungry OS. I had a new graphics computer built a few weeks ago and I stuck with XP Pro with the same thought in mind as you plus I avoided the driver issues on a commercial Epson printer. I would not be afraid to run Vista on a new high end computer though if it were not for that.
