Is Internet Explorer 11 causing problems for anyone?

Nana5 — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 23:24:12 GMT

In the past 2-3 weeks, my computer is having issues. I suspect it might be related to a recent update of something. I've heard that some are having issues with IE 11 so I uninstalled IE 11 and am back to using IE 10. It hasn't seemed to help.

Some of the issues are:when I browse the internet, the pages are much smaller than normal; the font is so small I can't read it. I've been using control+ to make the pages bigger. I have to do that on every internet site that I visit. The size stays okay once it's been make bigger. I never had to do this before. Also my Quickbooks Pro doesn't load correctly and I get an error message.

TIA for any insight you can shed on this problem.

I am using IE 11, and it does have issues. I would use another browser Firefox or Chrome.

I'm glad you said something........I thought I was going blind!!

It has also screwed up the printing from some of the web sites I use for work. I am really starting to hate Internet Explorer.

I have IE11 on some of my computers and, as of yet, no issues. You can make the pages bigger, no?

I also use Chrome a lot. Always good to have at least two different browsers installed on each computer. I don't care for Firefox, for a myriad of reasons, but Chrome is a good alternative browser.

I have read so many bad things about IE11. I won't upgrade to it.

Nana5, I had all kind of problems with IE 11.

I finally went back down to IE-9. I use QuickBooks, also. IE 11 wouldn't let me access QB remote webex, which I use a lot to access my computer at work.

I no longer have any problems accessing websites, etc.

I would try going to IE 9.

HTH!

I had problems with IE last year, so I switched to Firefox. I like it better.

So glad you brought this up. I have only had IE11 since December when I purchased the Dell TSV and have experienced problems similar to those already described, as well as page freeze. I also use Firefox and switch between the two since Firefox can also have some issues. Perhaps will download Chrome or go to a older version of IE. Again thanks for mentioning this, I had a much older version with Windows XP so wasn't sure if it was me as I learn the newer applications.

I'm not upgrading anything anymore. If Microsoft does it in the middle of the night, I guess I have to live with it, but no way am I bringing on these problems myself. I have Windows 7 and no way do I want touch screen Windows 8.

Wait for the upgrades to be debugged and stabilized a few months THEN upgrade. The very worst thing you can possibly do is get WAY behind in the releases. I've been with pcs since the early 1980s and can say that no matter how much you hate the new one, you are better off to stay current. You can get in a world of trouble by getting WAY behind in operating systems and software.
