    This is all very interesting because............

    I have a computer which is about 5/6 yrs old and runs XP. I used IE6 satisfactorily until about Christmas time when a pop-up suggested installing IE7, which I did. I can't remember what it was, but there were issues I couldn't get on with and the machine slowed down. Having read about FF, I installed that and formed the opinion that it was clearer, faster etc. so made that my daily browser, even though I retained IE7.

    During the last week or so, it takes about 4 mins to boot up and many pages take ages to load. My IT man said that my machine might not be able to accommodate IE7, hence the slowness. Any opinions?

    I thought it was not possible to roll back to version 6 from version 7? Something about changes to the registry?

    Not true. You merely have to uninstall IE7 from add/remove programs. Unless you have Vista.
