I'm going to start having to (5x a day!).

I just checked my tif folder setting and it was set to 500mg. I just
increased it to 1 gig.

It's interesting that as much as I enjoy the speed of Firefox, I find it a
pain to use. It's hard to set up OE mail with it, and it takes awhile to
load (possibly because of the plug-ins I've added, although a password
generator and media player controls built into a browser is nice).

You're better off cutting it back instead of increasing it. As long as you
have broadband, try setting it to 5 or 10 MB.

I have worked with a computer using Webroot Spysweeper and
Spyware Blaster. When I went to do a manual scan with Spysweeper
I got a prompt stating there was a conflict in the IE area. That
surprised me but a few minutes later I realized I also had
Spyware Blaster running, so I figured that was where the conflict was.
I disabled Spyware Blaster and then Spysweeper seemed to run Ok and faster.

Anyone else notice any conflicts with these two programs?

The minimum possible here, 1Mb. I'd reduce it still further if the system
allowed. Virtually unused if you use Firefox or similar.

It's not the browser, it's the connection. If you're on dialup a large TIF
is useful.

Firefox doesn't use the TIF, so I can't see that the type of connection is
relevant to that.

Well, if Firefox doesn't use it, it makes no difference what size it is.
Anyway, the subject is IE so I can't see how Firefox is relevant to that.

Au contraire!

Use Firefox and IE problems are banished. Very relevant.

None of this rules out other possible problems with the PC.

It has nothing to do with the question asked, the TIF has nothing to do with
Firefox so it doesn't matter how big it gets, but if you think Firefox is
relevant to any and all subjects, why, good for you.

time to re-check the thread - the original poster *did* mention
firefox... he said he has the same problem in firefox... therefore
solutions that are specific to IE are unlikely to actually fix the
problem...
