IE7 full release - Page 4

Froze up on me last night with 100% CPU utilization.

Seems a good browser but a lack of advert blocking and plugin support makes it a nono for me other than a security update.

Yep. Must admit the ad-block is my main issue with it, not had a lock up yet with it but then I'm on a recent clean XP install so I've not butchered my files yet lol Even through it's RC release phase I didn't have many issues with lockups or processor usage though, obviously though each persons' PC is different and will react differently due to hardware/ software/ tweaking situations.

Neither did i in the RC's to be honest, it went to 100% CPU upon accessing the Runonce page on first load and stayed there.

Im putting it down to a one off for the moment.

Must admit that runonce problem hit me but then I just took that as being because I was trying to install and run IE at the same time as everyone else lol

That will be what it was - just a server getting hammered i would doubt the same thing happened to you (well i hope so anyway).

I think something happened between IE7 and the server which caused IE7 to go to full CPU, i confirmed it by CTRL-ALT-DELETE'ing and looking at the processes. IE7 was sitting there at 99%.

Has anyone got a direct linky for the download from Microsoft?

Our system at work will not let me get past

It is very unstable, it crashes every time that I use it on certain "ie only" sites.

I am currently removing it... what a junk...

Cheers Zingle, unfortunately the ISA server denied that one too and Softpedia is way too slow, like 6kb slow.

The final release of Internet Explorer 7 should be available today and will be delivered to customers via Automatic Updates starting November 1st. Prior to deployment of IE 7, we strongly recommend that you test your Web sites, extensions, and applications to make sure they are ready. Microsoft recommends that Web sites and applications are ready for the release of Internet Explorer 7 this month.

Arrogant *******! Talk about putting the cart before the horse. I thought the job of a web browser was to render properly coded websites, not to demand that websites are re-written to allow for the browser!

Stuart · 20-10-2006, 13:31

IE7 does usually allow properly coded sites to display properly. It's those that are coded to take advantage of the way IE6 and below do things that will cause problems.

Based upon my own testing, if a site works in Firefox or Opera, it *should* work in IE7.

Paul K · 20-10-2006, 13:53

FCC what sites are crashing it for you? I've got a clean install at home I can test the browser on those sites to see if it is the browser.

It's my stockbrocker's site, you need to login to test....

In IE, I have to enable "Access data sources across domains" in order to make it work. In ie7, it crashes pronto, in ie6 no problem.

Does anyone now how to enable "Access data sources across domains" in ff?

So that's the majority of websites that won't display properly then
