Not to be flippant, but the solution is to use Firefox all the time - I find it a far better and an altogether friendlier browser.

I only use IE7 when I have to (visiting Microsoft sites).

I'm very tempted to persist with Firefox but I'm niggled with it's inability to collapse one bookmark folder when I click on another(I have quite a few) in the same way IE does.

I don't know what you're running - XP / Vista / etc - but I called Dell Support the other day on an unrelated matter. They told me that IE7 was really for Vista and not XP. They recommended that I revert to IE6. I was a little doubtful that this was so and, as I use IE so infrequently, I let it drift.

I've not seen any other support for their ideas though.

Many thanks for your time Delierious.

BeTheReason is quite right, in your circumstances, Firefox is technically a workaround and it's a matter for yourself as to which browser you use.

I reply only to say that I have spoken with Dell support again, and they are categoric that IE7 will run and is OK with XP and that the previous advice regarding compatibility was faulty...

I should have stated that I'm on IE6 with XP and that the log-in screen re-appears every time I try to log-in.
