You know what it's like when sometimes you're not completely concentrating on what's going on, then something goes wrong and you wish you had? Well that's how it was. Like a man in a prison cell, looking at his WC, that's all I had to go on.

Anyhow, one day i switch on the puter and IE worked. Still errors out on me each session though.
