I didn't use internet explorer. There's a program called Proxomitron which allows you to change how the pages are rendered to your computer. This works by emulating a proxy server and passing the pages content through this fake server.
In order to set this up, you'd need to tell internet explorer to use a proxy, set the address to localhost and set up the port you want it on.
I really don't use it unless i go to amazon, since I've noticed problems with windows live messenger. It doesn't stay signed in when I use it. If you haven't noticed any slowness on certain sites, there's probably no need to use it. If you do, however, contact me off list and i'll help.

When you say you had to disable Java, do you mean you went into your browser options and did that? If not,then how? I just went to my Insert V menu, and there's no way to turn Java on and off in that menu. So I looked at the manage add-ones section of my IE7 options menus, and I see that there aware two identical Java entries to do with a plug-in listed (does this mean they're enabled?) plus one Java console something or other. If going into this menu is the only way to fix the problem, could you explain the steps for disabling these things safely? Would there be any disadvantage in doing that, by the way? Would it render inaccessible something else on the Web that I'd regret losing? thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blake Sinnett" <frequency660@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 12:53 PM Subject: further news on amazon and possible other sites Hi folks, I did some testing with Proxomitron which allows me to disable certain aspects of the page. It turns out that java script is the culprit. When I disabled java script, the page ran as fast as it always has. So, something in the js gets jaws all worked up. Whatever that is remains a mystery. I'm not sure if someone can look at the script and see, so I have no idea how to go about reporting this to FS. Until then, I guess I'll have to disable java script.
