Made the big mistake of installing latest Explorer... now the internet looks like I'm looking through a sheet of muslin.

Is there a fix or do I go back to the last IE and wait till Bill puts his glasses on?

Go to tools/internet options/advanced and uncheck "Always use Cleartype for HTML". Restart expoloer and there you go. HTH.

Lloyds TSB works just fine with Firefox. And Safari. And Opera.

Firefox is a far superior browser and has a internet explorer tab for people who can't write web pages.
