computer.

Whenever I try to get on I keep getting the

Safari Web Browser has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and it didn't work so. Is it just my computer or is something wrong with Safari.

It's your computer. Likely something you've recently installed or updated conflicts with it in some way. If reinstalling Safari itself hasn't changed things, look at other programs that have had recent changes. AV software, other things you've installed, OS updates, etc.

Firefox doesn't work with my computer (I could even download Firefox 3), I went on about this in another thread. If I can't fix this I'll just look for another web browser. I'm sure it's my fault because I download a lot of shit.

Okay this switching from browser to browser shit is getting annoying. I'll be on Opera 9 until that fucks up on me.

Or you can just fix your computer, stop downloading crap, and act like a responsible adult.

Fix my computer, oh my god thanks Bounty, I that thought never crossed my mind.

Stop downloading crap, thank you again captain obvious.

Act like a responsible adult, the fact that I am taking responsibility for my screw kind of sounds like I'm being responsible.

So do it?

You hop from browser to browser so you don't have to accept that your computer needs work. If you're the only person using this PC, it shows laziness. If it's a shared PC, it shows negligence.

Being responsible means not repeating the same fucking thing over and over again and expecting the results to be differemt.

I'm assuming you haven't tried the obvious fix of uninstalling these extra browsers?

Nah, he just piles on new ones whenever the old one breaks. It's been going on for months.

Wow, consistent problems and he just keeps leapfrogging to new software, which eventually breaks?

Come on, even re-installing isn't THAT hard.

I'm hoping he gives up at some point between Mosaic and eLinks.
