So, IE 6 still screws some things up. -sigh- Grab Mozilla and give it a whirl. Of course, many sites are coded for IE's deficiencies, so you'll need to keep it around too. Grab Avant to wrap your IE in tabbed pop-up blocking goodness!
So I've come to the conclusion that my SB Live is totally fuxxored. I don't know if it's the Live in my machine specifically, or all SB Lives (I will have to try the Live in my other machine to be sure), or if its even these speakers though I'm kind of doubtful of the latter. The situation is this: whenever I play music with high frequencies it gets distorted to hell. VERY distorted. It's not the MP3 file, that has been tested elsewhere (on an Audigy) and it is beautiful there. It's not the drivers, I have updated those with several versions. So I fear it's the card. I haven't been completely able to test a CD (which I think would bypass the card) vs an MP3 (using the same song) to be sure, first I need to find a song that distorts on the card and that I have the CD handy to do a comparison. Oh well. The new Audigy 2 isn't horribly expensive (though some are still advocating the Turtle Beach as kicking everything's butt?) though I cringe at spending money still. But music is something that I crave and dig and dive into, so, this distortion has GOT TO GO.
