    Is it possible to run/have 2 browsers?
    « on: April 21, 2009, 05:39:52 AM »
    I'm having login problems with Facebook on IE7 (have posted it under software), but it does work with Mozilla. My wife uses Apex nutrition which does not work with Mozilla but rather IE7. Until I get her Java issue fixed, (also posted) we have to share computers. Anyway to share browsers?

       I've got running IE7 and Mozilla FF along, and they both go just fine.

      Try to go to an earlier version of internet explorer like IE6 and try again.

      You realise you can have both browsers running at the same time...correct ?

        Actually I did not know that. I didn't know if they would compete against each other and cause conflict. Use too much memory? So I would still just pick one to use as default? If Apex runs on IE and Facebook on Mozilla, will it matter how I get to each program or what is up and running?

        Nope.
        Shouldn't bang heads at all...
        It's just like having any other 2 apps running at once...
