Hi, i,m gbok, interesting forum u have here. I,m well pleased with XP Pro, very stable and tweakable. However i,m having a couple of problems with IE6, eg. using hotmail in XP. Also certain sites (My Bank) refuse to let me log in(I dont even get to the log in page???) In win 98 hotmail and the bank site worked fine. Any ideas? I have cookies enabled and tried various privacy settings in IE. Nothing seems to help. Cheers gbok
