Hi Commanded,

What version of Windows are you running?

Sorry, Vista sp2

When you installed it did you select 'run as administrator' from the context menu (right-mouse click)? Also have you tried a system restore?

Download and install this it will fix every problem you have had with Vista and Internet Explorer.

Whilst I will hold my hand up to being a "linux fanboy" as someone called me, I don't think the OP is wanting to go this far - he just wants to solve his IE9 issues.

And this time it was me.

Just spreading the news that the user doesn't have to suffer with shoddy software and have to pay for it too.

Nope, just a massive learning curve and even more disruption to their day. And that's before they realise they can't open any of their files, run the specialist bit of software they use for work or play any of their games.

I would beg to differ on this! As sidbobs says, theirs always one (now there are two!)

Neither of what you have highlighted are either the fault of the aforementioned OS or do they ever happen. But I shall stand back and watch the problem be fixed *cough*.

Maybe not faults....

But advising a windows user to switch OS to fix a simple problem is hardly sound advice is it?

Why not try and actually contribute in helping to solve the OP's problem rather than suggesting something so drastic as installing a totally different OS which I'm sure would cause him/her lots and lots more problems than they have right now.
