Can you people open this website -> www.realtor.com ? The website is being loaded endlessly on my laptop since I bought it. I go with Win 7, IE 7 and McAfee antivirus/firewall.

Using FF and Safari, no problems with either.

rebooting does not help. I do like IE but I'll try with Firefox right away. But I think there is something wrong with my computer since my antivirus expired.

edit

it did help! HOWEVER now I have the same problem that I had some time ago... namely when I search for homes I get: "Oops, there's been a glitch!". Anybody know what this is?

edit

Got it! In IE's settings, I moved up English language over Polish language. Now IE opens the website and searches without any glitch. I can uninstall Firefox now.

Why would you want to uninstall Firefox? I don't know too many people who don't think FF is -- for general usage -- superior to IE. Both realtor.com and Zip Realty load faster for me on both my desktop (Windows XP) and my laptop (Windows 7). But in any case, isn't it always better to have back-up browser installed for situations just like the one you're facing?

Actually I didn't even know that there was an option to move one language over another... Anyway all other websites worked fine, I had the problem only with realtor.com, so I think this website should do something so that bilingual people wouldn't have to figure out what's going on with their browser...

A friendly suggestion, it doesn't hurt to have two browsers. Why not keep Firefox, just incase you have another problem like that. Also change is good. IE is just so... 1990s.
