Why do some websites look different in IE and Firefox?
I'm making a website and it looks perfect in Internet Explorer but totally broken in Firefox. The layout is shifted and the fonts are wrong. Why can't browsers just display things the same way? How do web designers handle this? Do I need to make two versions of my site?

I'd post this on the Tom's Hardware or AnandTech forums with your full system specs — CPU, RAM, motherboard, the works. People can't really help without knowing what you've got. The more detail you give, the better the answers.
Definitely back up your important files before trying any fixes. I learned this the hard way when I lost 3 years of photos trying to fix a simple problem. Get an external hard drive or burn DVDs of your important stuff first.
Check how much free space is on your hard drive. Windows needs at least 15% free to run well — it uses that space for virtual memory and the swap file. If your drive is 95% full, that alone will make everything crawl.
