Firefox or Chrome.

IE broke with me badly years ago so I moved to chrome and never went back. I suggest trying to update your IE browser before trying a new one, sometimes bugs can be fixed that way

I had the same issue on all installed browsers at one point. In my case it turned out to be Avast antivirus fault. For some reason it blocked files with jpg. extension from downloading.

I use Chrome. It's pretty nice. Nice use of extensions and accessibility. Pretty easy to use too.

I use Opera browser, myself. Very lightweight and fast.

Was using IE a bit ago, but fucked up a bit.

Does it do that in any other browsers?

Typically any sentence that begins with "I'm having this issue in Internet Explorer" is answered by "There's your problem right there" in the tech support world.

I use Chrome myself.

"I'm having this issue in Internet Explorer" is answered by "There's your problem right there"

And that says it all right there, Yay Chrome.

Well, there are basic troubleshooting steps you can try.

Select Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab | Restore Advanced Settings and then Reset.

See if resetting the settings to the default settings works. Next step is to see if it's a GPU issue by doing this:

Select Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab | check the option to use software rendering instead of GPU rendering (topmost option).
If that fixes the issue (might be a little slower) then try updating the display drivers.

D: I haven't used IE in years, except to download another browser. Chrome is awesome, Firefox is good too!

If you are experiencing problems with your current browser, you should definitely try another one.

I've used IE until version 7 or 8, after that I switched to Opera. But I'm still using the old classic Opera 12. Later versions are based on Chrome and I don't like that browser. But if I find a page that doesn't work correctly in Opera 12, I just use Firefox.

The thing is, do some research on the most used browsers today. Check their features, usability, interface, plugin support, security, privacy and choose the one that you find it suits your needs ;)

You could also get a portable version of the browser you chose to test it without messing with your current set up (I did that when the new Chrome based Opera was launched). Then if you like it, install the full version.

Hope I was helpful ^^

I haven't used IE in years except for some business and academic web sites (which are usually poorly implemented) where it often becomes a requirement due to weird coding bugs with Java or other features. Besides those specific instances I wouldn't use it to be honest.

I personally prefer Firefox because of its plugins but the new interface has thrown me for a loop. I would highly encourage you to try out the many suggested browsers including Firefox, chrome, and opera. I doubt you will go back to IE.

chrome is what I usr

aha! well there's your problem.. using IE X3 in all seriousness though.. IE has some genuine gaps, Flash doesnt work right in it either, it's supposed integrated plugin system just isnt compatable with what alot of the net now uses, or at least it seems that way, i could be blowing smoke.

i used every web browser and ran into major problems that were different with each one..

however the most stable and surprisingly intuitive to use ones were Chrome and Opera, which now is exactly like Chrome.. Firefox is an option but it isnt exactly.. stable.

Most people seem to have recommended Chrome or Firefox...
I'd like to recommend Iron. It's largely the same as Chrome but safer and not owned by Google.

IE has crappy security protocols, and is arguably one of the worst browsers out there. I use chrome and it's never given me trouble.

Any other browser is waaaaay better the IE.
IE is a curse if you ask me.

I'm with previous people above, but if you absolutely have to use IE: try Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset...

Well, how about some tips from someone who doesn't hate/love any one particular browser? :p Never did understand rampant hatred for software to the point of blaming any faults on it instantly. I've used quite a few over the years and I have to agree with Yuras12, it's likely an external program like anti-virus dorking with it. If you want to be 100% sure, download something relatively unobtrusive like Firefox and see if it does the same thing.

I couldn't recommend more strongly that you drop IE like the plague. Get yourself chrome (or firefox if you have problems with Google) and wonder why you ever put up with a browser that refuses to cooperate with standards!

IE has been going down hill for awhile, might be time to go with something like Fire Fox or....Chrome (if your so enclind)

Your best bet would be to switch to a different browser for a while, and maybe see if the problem is fixed after they release a new version of IE. I will agree with the others that using a separate browser would probably tell you if the problem is actually the browser or external. As far as I know, Firefox is the closest relative to IE.

I personally am a Firefox user, since it has the ability to sync your account on multiple devices regardless of OS.... And I don't appreciate the idea that Google can control even MORE of my life than it already does without chrome.

I'd recommend switching to firefox; it sounds like a problem with the .jpg translation software, n which your only choices are to either repair it or reinstall IE.

Because Microsoft is a bunch of idiots who refuse to even remotely conform to the standards that they themselves help create. There is a very good reason that seasoned web developers develop using Firefox, and then beat IE over the head until it displays things right.

Personally, I'd suggest Chrome if you are on Windows, and Firefox on any Linux or BSD variant.

So everyone suggests a different browser right off the bat? No basic checks cleaning suggested? -.-

When is the last time you ran any of your AV/Defrag/Cleaner applications? (Might as well do them all if they haven't been run in awhile, Yes I know defrag isn't going to cause the issue but w/e)

Do you have all your updates installed and rebooted for them to apply? (tl;dr 'Have you tried turning it off and back on again?')

Have you tried turning off all your plugins/addons (whatever MS calls the extra junk) to see if it runs fine without them? Another thing would be to try "Safe mode with networking" to see if it's a local program issue? (The AVG scenario)

If you're using Windows Operative System lesser than 8.1, then the Internet Explorer pretty much is done for. But then again (to me) Internet Explorer has been a bit lousy with image-browsing in general ever since IE5/6.-times (back when Firefox was still pretty much copy of Netscape and wasn't not good at handling Flash or reading more "advanced"-gallery-websites, even though the tab-browsing was interesting newish function).

If you'd like to venture for other browser and you have a 64-bit OS to get a bit more "power" out of your hardware, I have some suggestion:

For image browsing I recommend using Waterfox, which in essence is almost exact copy of Firefox but 64-bit, which allows the browser reach RAM-usage higher than 2-giagbytes in longer non-relaunching-sessions without crashing.
Yes Firefox have had huge memory-leak issues for a number of years now; it probably won't ever get fixed...
But it's also the only browser that allows using "Save Image"-addon, which is very useful for archivers such as myself; I tend to occasionally open more than 100-images just containing a single image and then I'll save all the "tabs" with the addon; very useful.

Other Firefox-variants I can suggest are Palemoon & Seamonkey.


Google Chrome I mainly use for "interactive"-media heavy work, which also includes writing essays on forums; I also like the rather dynamic dictionary / corrector. Google Chrome can handle slightly better any Google-sites (including Youtube).


There are some other internet browsers such as Avant, Maxthon, & Deepnet Explorer. But since I for one at least wasn't able to fund anything similar to "Save Images"-addon for those browser, I haven't gotten into & gathering more info about those browser; supposedly they are decent though.



Hopefully you'll find these experiences of mine somewhat helpful.
