Thread: Internet Exporer 8

Looking for a DVD/CD drive to read/write both - and + media. Found this on Ebay:- HP 16X/48X SATA DVD-ROM Drive w/ +R read (AH047AA) Shop says it will read any media but has no idea what w/ +r means ? I suspect it will only read + media, am I correct

Using FF 3.0.11 Didn't like 3.5 and wont use I.E. as it's poor in comparison.

I didnt use it.....But i want to use it.

When downloaded from Windows update it installs only the parts need to complete the upgrade. It also means errors within IE7 may remain unrepaired. Downloaded from Microsoft and installed direct from the hard drive will overcome that problem. It won't take no for an answer and overwrites everything.
