Hi all, it's not just me, I know from other 'gamers' talkng about MSN's Texas hold 'em, I can only play it in IE

and every so often ( very often ) it will say IE has encountered a problemm and has to close

this is getting very very anoying now as I'm getting better at the game and progressing through the rounds, just when I get to the final 4 or 5 players of a table I get kicked.
So...................... is this a known problem, is there a fix, or is there a version playable in either Firefox or Opera, preferably Opera
TIA................. yours,
