Don't Install IE8
« on: March 23, 2009, 10:48:40 pm »
Don't do it, it may break the ability to hear sounds in the server. We are doing some testing to see if it is the cause to blame.

Looks like it is not the problem. However, just don't screw with IE if sounds are working for you now.

IE is a massive pile of dicks with steamy dressing and no cherry's... you guys are a little bit faggy for using IE as part of your sound things, but I forgive you.

But sir, there is no other way. Valve decided to use IE to render their pages  :!: .

I wonder if there's another way to play sounds other than the page thing... hmm... probably not, but I would not know as I have not played with SM much. Regardless, the impossibility of other options does not make it any less faggy. WTB A HOMO LULZ

Internet Explorer? Oh you mean that cancer that comes with every copy of Windows? I wish I could remove that tumor. My browser of preference just so happens to be a woodland creature made of the flame elements.

You actually can remove IE... if you open the control panel, go to add/remove programs, then add/remove windows components, then uncheck IE and click apply, IE will go away... TADA! No more tumors!

I know this, I just like the dramatics of calling it a tumor. That, and it would seem that Steam uses IE to run itself.

Yeah, that's really annoying... I wish steam would man up and just require people to install FF, or just use the FF rendering engine or something... It's open source anyway! They can legally distribute it!

Actually IE isn't as simple to uninstall as you would think. It is best to just leave it alone as it is used to render the pages for sounds and what not. In Windows 7 though, there will be an option to completely turn off IE.

Seemed to work fine whenever I did the above...

Alot of windows programs break if you uninstall IE.

Yes, but your overall computer morale is increased do to IE no longer being there. Windows does indeed hate not having it's lovely IE to render html and execute arbitrary code from the tubes.

I think your computer's morale most likely increases the second you walk away from it.

Hey man, I treat my computer nice. I program with it and run VMs and feed it hefty games to render on the highest settings. She gets plenty of attention, and she loves Linux...

Hey man, I beat my computer twice. I procreate with it and run through it with a rusty spoon and feed it hefty carbs to render it on the completely fattest settings. She gets plenty of ass rape, and she hates exercise...
</jerk>
There, that sounds about right.
