what about the facebook one? could it be that sp2 will not work on a quad core? any recommendation to what os to install on my system to make everything work? i dont want vista on it either

Are you using IE 64 bit?

Some sites dont support 64 bit. I do believe Vista64 comes with both 32 and 64 bit browsers.

EDIT - Just realized he doesnt have Vista.

Did you download the right SP? Do all updates for your PC. If that fails, Remove SP2 and try again.

i dont know if its the right sp2. i had a disk and installed it from that. i've used that disk on many old computers with no problems. should i do update direct from microsoft?

maybe download sp3?

this is a weird problem
