IE Screen Problem

Addit Info:
SW is XP Home version 2002, Serv Pack 3. IE is set up as "no add
ons".Netbook is also quite slow due to limited memory(1Meg/500k Ram) and
speed(1.6 Mhz). Adequate for my limited travel due to size, battery life,etc.
Slow when reading newspapers on line.

Try Firefox (-:

I generally like to get away from IE when I can: it's not that it's a
bad browser, in fact it works with more of the internet than anything
else, I just don't like the extent to which it is linked to the
operating system. You can always keep it there for the (rare) cases when
you encounter a website that won't work with whatever alternative you're
using.

FWIW, I'm using a netbook too, and have exactly that - Firefox as my
default browser, IE for if I should need it (which hasn't been for
months - I don't think ever, in fact, on this PC). What do you mean by
"1Meg/500k Ram"? (I have 1M, and can upgrade to 2M - I've got it, just
not got around to it, as I haven't found it irritatingly slow yet.)

I think my problems are resolved but I am not sure fully why. I defragged
the"Acer C Drive" (as it came from the factory). Even though there was only
7% free space, not the minimum 15%recommended, I ran it over and over. ( My D
drive has 90% unused.) I defragged it several times. My speed has improved
significantly and my IE screen has not been a problem since. I am no
longerunhappy with the netbook. My issue is closed.
