Anybody tried the new internet explorer error reporting tool via windows update page. It's supposed to report errors to microsoft and if there is an available fix it directs you to the solution. One problem...I just tried to download it and computer hung. Who do I report this to?

I'm not eager to try it because it takes OE away.

That doesn't happen as long as Internet Explorer is still installed on your system.

I am using The new Explorer as I type this.I have been tinkering with it(as I posted) since Sept.I was using the Beta2 version until Wed when I upgraded.

It's faster than IE but lacks its rich features.It also has not crashed in my months experience.

The author is correct in that Hotmail must be used with MSN Explorer.What he failed to say is that you do not have to use it if you leave IE on your system.Perhaps he was unaware of that fact.I set up the Hotmail but still use Outlook Express for my email.
