  Having some problems running Stockfetcher in Internet Explorer 9 (vs. 8).  SF locks up, and I have to start over.
 
 Is it IE-9, or could it be something else?  It's a new I-7 laptop computer.
 
 ??

 ps:  Can I install IE-8 over 9.  My laptop came with IE-9.

  You can run IE9 in compatability mode, but as with several new releases from microsoft.  IE9 is just a pure ass stinker. A lot of bugs and freezes.
 There could be several problems causing it though but it is most likely IE9
 
 Go to http://support.microsoft.com/mats/ie_freezes_or_crashes/en-us
 and run the mr. fixit to see what it will find. Often its just a (dot)NET framework update needed.

  Gene,
 
 I had to uninstall IE-9 on my wife's computer a couple weeks ago.  Every web page she visited would eventually hang (not just SF).  There was clearly a compatibility issue with some other software on her computer (anti-virus perhaps??). 
 
 In Win7, you can go to "Programs and Features" in control panel and on the left hand pane and select "view installed updates".  Find IE-9 and uninstall.  My wife has been running IE-8 fine ever since.  
 
 I use Mozilla Firefox and it works well.  They have frequent updates as well.
