browser issues

i cant gain access to some websites with internet explorer 7. have tried configuring norton security to no avail. maybe another browser might help?

I couldn't access my Yahoo Mail with IE7, but found the answer by using Mozilla Firefox.

It's a very small download, solves the problem and can be used alongside IE7 without any conflict.

ok, tried that - not working! tut

Give a particular site that isn't working for you.

I'll try it in IE7 and see if it works - then we know whether the problem is your settings.

My website doesn't work with IE7, some of the links on the left wont open, works fine with IE6 and Firefox!!
try it: http://www.metalartist.co.uk/

Your page comes up looking fine, but with some dead links.

I don't have norton, so that's not the issue. It is definitely some sort of conflict with IE7, but I don't know why or what!

It is the links that have links that cause the problem, for some reason. I don't know what to suggest, sorry.

RATTER, I've just tried your website with both browsers and wonder if the problem links are the same as Ethel found.

Products - Search - Links. These three don't work with IE7, but all do with Firefox, plus the same Error On Page as I had. The next update should hopefully fix these bugs.

Ethel and Cetti, many thanks for checking that out for me, I hope IE7 gets this sorted, this could be costing me money if people don't bother to try another browser!!

Ratter: no, all these issues won't be fixed until IE8. Wait another few years ;)

This is why Microsoft can be such a crap company.

wookette:
Sounds like your firewall is blocking access. Do you use norton as your firewall, or something else like zonealarm? Try disabling it temporarily, and then trying IE7 with your sites you can't gain access to.
