IE closes my windows...

Down8

I have noticed recently, that if I click on a link to something that is auto downloaded in IE 5. 5, that it will auto-close the current window. This is extremely annoying when I lose my history, and have to find my way back to where I was.

How to remove directx 8 .

ras

I found this at Mackem Boy got bitten by the beta that is DirectX8. He found that once the Beta was installed his gamepad refused point blank to work. The solution? Get rid of the DirectInput functions and replace them with good old version 7.

All Hail ASUS

Asus is my bud for awhile. . . I had a TNT2 Ultra using 5. 22 drivers. Things worked good for the most part, a couple of answered reboots a month. Then I went to an Asus 6800 (GF DDR), using the Nvidia reference drivers, 5.
