I.E 6 Problem?
« on: February 14, 2006, 12:53:09 AM »
I really didn't know what to title this thread, as I have no idea what the main problem is.

Recently, I upgraded p.c`s and I've noticed a few oddities with this p.c (mainly through I.E)

Whether it's a css problem or what, I really don't know.  However, viewing a site - it'll sometimes appear strange like this:

The second paragraph with the heavily induced bold text and strange links?

Viewing it through Firefox, however, is much neater:

So, I went onto another computer with I.E and viewed the same site.  Wondering if it was just coded for Firefox.  But, it looked the exact same or very similar to the Firefox link above.  So, I presume it's something with my I.E

Also, on some sites I'll get weird Asian text like this:

Again, it's not there on other peoples PC's or on Firefox.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like there's a fault with your IE 6 installation.  Try reinstalling, and DON'T install any of the additional language support files.

Alternatively, just stop using IE.  In fact stop using it anyway.  ;)

I do prefer Firefox....

But thanks for your advice.  I'll try that and see what happens.
