Default Vista Ultimate 64

Well the computer is soooo nice!!!

But......the darn windows vista unltimate 64 bit is giving me problems. When I go to myspace, or try to look up fixes from the microsoft website the explorer says it is experiencing problems. It either shuts down or restarts the explorer. I know it has to be in the security of the OS, but not sure how to find this stuff in vista lol.

I did download firefox which is so far a work around to the problem, but vista wont let me use some of the activex stuff, and I think it is related to the same problem im having in explorer ie7.

Anyone found where to go to override, or give the A-ok in the permissions?

I know this is small stuff compared to fryin a mobo or sumthin, just really frustrating lol.

I have XP sp2 and the newest versions of Firefox & IE.
I have/had problems with both of those browsers when trying to go to the Walmart site and a few other sites.
IE would repeatedly load the same page over and over
FF would just go to code?/ or letters and numbers

So I downloaded Opera & Flock- installed Flock and it has no problems like the other 2.. so i don't know what's going on ..

You might want to run a Search on your 'puter and look up "Repair"; sometimes, there are viable solutions presented within the info. stored within VISTA.

Another thing, you might want to try a rollback or restore. On VISTA, a restore to an earlier checkpoint has to be done in SafeMode. (Discovered that after ample headaches.)

Doing a restoration might correct the prob.
