PLEASE, HELP!!!

I wanted to post in in the FAQ section, but failed. Please help me one problem- or at least give me an answer:

My old laptop and its crappy version of explorer fail to download some internet pages in full! Those pages used to be fine until the loading was once interrupted- either by accidental click on Refresh button, or by "freeze", or by closing the window. After once of those things happen- Explorer refuses to load those pages in full EVER again!

I would greatly appreciate your urgent help, folks, since it seems like recently AW became one of those sites!

Delete your browsing history and cookies. (In IE that's under Tools).

Restart your browser.

SHOULD take care of it. You might seriously consider a new browser, as well. Say, Firefox or Chrome.

Thanks! However, I tried deleting cookies, history and all offline content- didn't seem to help that much, unfortunately... As for another browser- I'd like that, but the problem is, my disc C has very little space on it. Disc D has much more, but all programmes go to C (where Windows folder is) and I'm not sure they'll function if I relocate them to D. And freakin' Windows doesn't allow me to change sizes of virtual drives without re-formatting them! (Or I just don't know how to do it...)
As for the browsers- I greatly enjoyed Opera when I had Linux, but I'm not sure it has a windows version. Firefox, I think, will make more sense, won't it?

I'll second the suggestion for replacing IE with Firefox, Flock, or Chrome. I'd bet most of your internet problems are from running IE -- especially if you're running an old version.

Thank you! are there any browsers I can get for free, like Opera?

Firefox and Chrome are both free.

Firefox - http://www.mozilla.org
Chrome - http://www.google.com

Thanks! I've got only about 100MB on disc C left, though... Much more on D - but, obviously, I cannot install it there... I'll uninstall Explorer once I download and test Firefox, of course- but will 100MB be enough for installation?

100MB should be plenty for Firefox..

Thanks- that gives me some optimism! Yeah, I already started removing less meaningful programmes to D and re-patching shortcuts... I'm more cautious with vital applications in this respect, though...
