Reply From: Anthony Law <reveal () home com> You know what's REALLY scary? Microsoft, as well as BigFix, recommend turning off Active Scripting until a fix is in place. In order to use the "Windows Update" feature of IE5.0 you have to have Active Scripting turned ON or it WILL NOT WORK! Kind of a catch-22 situation. Anthony Law reveal () home com -----Original Message----- Buggy IE 5 causing fits for Microsoft It may be the dominant Web browser and the overwhelming technological champion, but Internet Explorer 5.0 is causing fits for Microsoft Corporation. Bug after bug has plagued the Web browser since its release in March, and now, just six months later, its seems a week doesn't go by without some new problem cropping up. This week, IE 5.0 was hit by not one, but two new bugs, one of them fairly surface. And a reeling Microsoft can't seem to ship IE 5.01--which will include a massive collection of bug fixes--soon enough.
