I need a new browser

Do you actually have Java installed that might be your problem if not get it here, that might be your problem.


Download Free Java Software

Made sure Java was downloaded. Went into IE8 and reset all settings. I asked it to have IE8 handle the page as if it was IE7, to open the new links as new windows, new tabs and for IE8 to handle the page the way it wanted to.

Still same error message.

You might want to try opera browser: Opera browser | Faster & safer internet | Free download

I gave Opera a try and it saved the radio button choices! What a surprise. But it was not able to work with one of the sites I need.

What would the difference be that IE8, Chrome and Firefox cannot handle the radio buttons and Opera can?

Opera is more compatible with web standards than other browsers.

I used to run my OS's intenet through Flock www.flock.com

Try it.

Dead Easy to use and much faster!!

A social networking web browser? Used to be built on the Gecko engine by Mozilla and soon moving to the Chromium engine? No thanks.

I have been running FF for years and cannot ever remember having any such issues with it. I would also go with it being a setting of some sorts on your system

I would really love to be able to stay with Firefox but I don't know where to start looking for what settings to change. Suggestions?

I tried googling and no one else seems to have the same issue. Maybe there is another phrase I could use to replace "radio buttons"?

I agree it is either your security settings, or the typical cause for IE8 program, a wayword add-on, or conflicking add ons.

You might try resetting IE8 - Tools > Internet Properties > Advanced and click Reset. This will disable all your add-ons, including toolbars.

You can also run IE8 without add-ons by clicking Start, then in the seach box, start typing: Internet Explorer and options will appear, including Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Click that and see what happens.

I really thought this was going to work because I can reset IE8 and my links work. But when I restart my machine they don't work again until I reset.

So it made since that it was an add-on that was causing the problem. But, no, I tried IE8 without add-ons and my links won't work. Same error message.

Then it may be security settings and you may want to go to Tools > Internet Settings > Security, the Reset all zones to default levels.

Have you scanned for malware?

When did this problem start?
