Re: IE7 full release
 
i started out coding for internet explorer then obviously found out that i should code for other browsers and then fix IE's bugs, why they all can't just make a browser that conforms to standard coding practices is wierd to me

Been a known problem since July so no doubt it's being worked on, whether HP will fix it or whether they will just leave it to MS to sort it out I don't know but it has been mentioned on the IE7 MSN Blogs.
Supposedly a HP fix here but by all accounts they haven't done much to make their software compatible with IE7 even though MS gave them it for development purposes when they gave it to other manufacturers.

Just installed this today, no problems so far with the sites I usually visit and it does appear to be quicker, unusual for M$?

Didn't like the menu bar being in the middle so found a fix on another site to put it back to the top:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001

Just exit IE7, paste the above text to a .reg file and import it then run IE7 again.

Strange, it worked for me? Not to worry at least you sorted it out.

Does the ie7 has any features that Firefox does not have? I just installed it and I do not like it...

bugger.....my ie7 install doesnt work for me.... I know why though, wanted to try it as well! :-(

Re: IE7 full release
 
One thing they have missed is the ability to open a link in a new tab when using the Menu Bar > Favorites dropdown box, you can't launch links from there into a new tab :( so you have to manually open a new tab, click it then use the Menu Bar > Favorites to launch you link.

I don't like using the little star on the left to open the Favorites Center, it just seems too cumbersome and slow.

Re: IE7 full release
 
well..... i managed to install it and it made my system go nuts....I rebooted and it came up with a "couldnt find Normaliz.dll" and I LUCKILY knew what I was doing, because it was preventing me from going into explorer.exe !!!

In the end I had to download the .dll off the net (thank god I loaded Mozilla as a task manually through task manager)

Very dodgy :(

Tell you one thing I noticed.

When I run the speed test, the box that opens is transparent and only turns to normal when the result is displayed.

I updated Sun java, maybe I have to update from Windows Update now.

Take someone else's great idea > make it slightly clunky > push it like h€ll to ensure marketing, not merit, grants it dominance.

Nice to see the familiar Microshaft business model in full swing again.

BTW, how big is the download?
