I recently upgraded to a new PC and IE 7
Since then when a page is excruciatingly slow to load I always fumble around before I remember to pull out the keyboard drawer and hit the escape key. Why did they remove the dang stop button anyway?!?
Arrrrrgh!

Bruce, I use IE7 and I have a stop button - it's at the top, right next to the refresh button. It has a big red X in it.

Duh..
I thought that was for the Google search bar.
Things are laid out a little differently from what I'm used to.
Thanks!

OK - new question. Where is the refresh button?Originally Posted by Nancy Laird
The only thing I've found so far is right-clicking on the tab.

Doug, the refresh button is the two curved arrows at the right of the address bar ... where you type in the URL. You should see a drop-down arrow for a list of previous URLs, then the refresh button, then the stop button.

Thanks Ron. Got em now. Sure wish they'd leave the Aint-Broken stuff not fixed when they roll out these "upgrades".

Sorry, I just can't resist this one. (I tried, but just couldn't)
My opinion is the IE is permanently, hopelessly broken no matter what version you are using. Please give Firefox a try, you will never go back.
I kinda think of IE as the Harbor Freight version of web browsers. It kinda works, but there are WAY better choices.

Not a lot of argument here but with some sites just not behaving w/o IE I sort of view it as the Rosetta Stone of browsers. You can read the stuff but it needs a lot of help/bloat/translation to get there. I haven't tried Firefox but had Google Chrome installed prior to losing my hard drive last week. I've been re-installing stuff on a new laptop since yesterday and may take FF for a spin.

Have you tried the Firefox add-ons for IE? Like IE Tab and IE View. These 2 work pretty well for those misbehaving IE sites. Oh, wait, I just reread your post, you said you had NOT tried FF. Let me rephrase:
Please give Firefox a spin and be sure to get the add-ons IE Tab and IE View for those misbehaving IE sites. Plus, there are MANY add-ons that can really improve the way FF works. I really cannot imagine the web without it.

Get NoScript for FF also.

As I understand it all keyboards sold after Jan 1 '09 must have this key:
