Just gone to the IE7 page and Avast ?Anti virus is warning me

Should I be worried or is a a false positive?

Maybe this is the final beta we're testing

I got that warning too, I'm also using Avast. I ran a scan and it didn't pick anything up.

It renders the 'nthellworld.co.uk' front page to the full width of the screen on my widescreen monitor, where firefox (2.0 RC3) displays big margins, so that is good.

I turned cleartype off, but I'm still not sure about the font?

The RSS feeds feature looks very good - still playing with that.

Most likely a FP, has happened to me before with Avast on other pages. Avast have a forum here:
http://forum.avast.com/
or you can email the support page with info is here:
http://www.avast.com/eng/technical_support.html

They may already know, but is worth dropping them a line just in case. Usually they test the issue, and update promptly. If you send an email, in my experience, they contact you to let you know if it has been resolved.

Haven't given IE 7 a go at the moment, but will probably try it first on a Virtual PC, as there may well be a few bugs even after an alpha release comes out

Anyone got problems with the text being blurred?

It's been a problem for me on each of the betas, but I read on some official blog a while ago it would be fixed for final release.

Graphics card is ASUS 9520, (GeForce FX 5200 series) which is fine for my needs, and problems only occur in IE7 and Outlook. If I revert to IE6 text is fine.

Cheers

did you get taken to the 'run-once' website when you first launched the browser, jingleman? - when I was, I disabled cleartype, and text looks less 'blurry', now ?

I haven't found that option in the 'options' yet, though???

My run-once didn't run earlier on (think it was too busy)!

I have found the setting in options/advanced/multimedia and un-checked it, still not brilliant though.

I have also found this link (good old Google):

I'm logging off now, will perhaps play more over the weekend

Cleartype (sub pixel rendering) should only be enabled for LCD... best if it's a DVI LCD, but usable with VGA-connected LCD. The tuning toy http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...ePowerToy.mspx has options to enable, disable and adjust two parameters.

Expert mode: RGB / BGR stripe pattern = Wizard mode - which looks best (out of two)?
Expert mode: Contrast = Wizard mode (more samples).

Cheers Matth...
That was handy!

I know i'm a little late in putting my 4p's worth in, but I've found it of less use than infertile male emission. It constantly seems to whinge that it cant find the site your trying to get to (no probs with internet connection, and this is tested through no proxy and a transparent proxy on localhost) and I know the connection is rock solid. It seems to barf everytime you go to sneeze (and given I have a cold thats hell of a lot!). Plus in other, general areas (such as the about... dbox) it gives the impression this is still not a polished product - indeed this is less stable than the beta release I tried, maybe MS posted an alpha version in error instead of the final version? It really seems thats bad.
