Hi

Opera is another browser. I use it. Quicker and more reliable than IE with some useful features.

Not sure why you are having problems with it. If you manually kick off IE and go to the same pages are they still fuzzy?

All the best

Keith

If you go to Control Panel -> Internet Properties -> Programs Tab

At the bottom there is a check box that says "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser", tick the box.

Close out of all browsers then fire up Internet Explorer, it should then ask you if you want IE to become the default browser.

Personally I'd stick with Opera whenever I can, it's quicker, less of a system resource hog, and works fairly well with all pages I use.

Latest version seems far more reliable (and the older versions were not bad).

All the best
