I'm not an expert, but I read somewhere that there are security or some kind of translation thingy's that are involved in the efficient transfer of web pages to your browser, and they are updated from time to time.

If a browser company doesn't keep up, you can have trouble with some web pages, and do fine with others. Isn't IE sort of stuck in its development? no further updates expected?

I'm using Safari (ok, it's OS X) ... don't have that kind of problem. I do use IE 5 sometimes, because Safari has bugs in it, and some people's pages won't work in it ...

Good luck solving your problems ...

Sort of my 2 cents worth ...

Inspired by this I changed from IE to mozilla 1.3.1 and I had to change back again
because it crashed constantly. and is as slow as dough. the scrolling is uneven with stalls
and there are numerous crashes and stalls while you are surfin. I have about the same
set up with a 7600 / 350 mhz + 320 mb ram and apart from the mozilla 1.3.1 the machine is flawless
and works year in and out running almost day and night (I love my mac) - so watch out.

You HAVE to feed it a pile of RAM, well over the paltry 'suggested' amount. I'd go to 48-64 megs. Then it runs much better.


There's also mozilla 1.2 (iirc) which was the last OS 9 compatible official release. Same thing applies to RAM usage, feed it a lot and it's much much happier.
