TSGL: Internet Explorer 7?

I'm sorry, Olivia, to hear that you are having problems with IE7. You,
unfortunately, are one of the rare folk that are having problems with it. 

Was the version that had all these problems one of the beta versions, or was
it a "final" version? Can you tell us what you were doing when it crashed or
froze? And can you tell us what you mean by a "crash"? Did it simply stop
working, or did it close IE with an error message? Did it cause the
Operating System to close?

And since IE7 will not work with any OS except WinXP or Vista, I must assume
you use XP (Vista is not yet out for consumers), but I really need to know
how much RAM your computer reports is running.

Thanks.

I am trying to find myself. If you see me before I do, please ask me to wait
until I return.

Hi
I'm new to the list but just wanted to say that I don't like IE7 because all
I do now is crash or freeze.  Sincerely, Olivia
