The use of IE7
by Richard.Dunham - 1/15/07 10:33 AM In reply to: Do you use Internet Explorer 7? by Marc Bennett
Yes, I downloaded and installed IE7. I use an add-on browser in conjunction with IE7. I really like Acoo Browser with all of it's easily navigable features. I downloaded the Acoo Browser from Cnet.
I've tried other add-on browsers and truly like Acoo Browser.
Sincerely,
Richard
IE7..from the beta to the Full version-yes

I could not get the IE7-beta to last past three days..it would just corrupt..
But the Microsoft Update Service installs a nice version..
There are some changes in the DEPTH/eliminations are there..
I have learned to NOT change the First TAB-entry[General]..that very top section that shows your HOMEPAGE/asking about Current-Default-Blank-useage<<---leave as is don't change that section..
then I just SET the TEMP. File Size very low..it allows somew 8-MB's all the way to some 2xxx-MB's in size..I have found 8-MB's best over-all..but sometimes use 80-MB's..
The rest of the Installation is regular Settings..
I liked the Look of the IE7-beta..
and the Full Version is very nice to use...NO PROBLEMS.
IE7
by knittinbren - 1/15/07 5:29 PM In reply to: IE7..from the beta to the Full version-yes by castingRod47I am keeping my fingers crossed; I have installed and unstalled this program so many times, it's incredible. I just couldn't view any trailers from certain web pages, mostly CNN. By mistake I somehow lost RealPlayer and when I went to reload it, no dice. So I went to their help chat--lots of things to do but it was successful after cleaning out many ares. On a whim, after installing RealPlayer, sucessfully, I downloaded IE7 again and went to a video trailer in CNN; viola! It worked. I like this program, if it keeps working!
Used on 1 but not on 2 others

I have had it on my laptop since it was in Beta and have had no problems. I installed it on one of my desktops but couldn't figure out how to get the toolbar to show - so I uninstalled it. I am in no hurry to install it in my main desktop.

I did download it, but my first day had problems right away and did not care for it immediately wanted to restore 6.
Iternet Explorer 7

I did allow it to download and it dramatically "bogged down" my system!
I also resent it being "auto" downloaded by just clicking on the MS pop-up for upgrades, etc. Since I'm a devoted Firefox user and fortunately had no problem getting IE 6 back, I will continue to use IE 6 only when necessary AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO USE IE7 again.
It's horrible for dial up users.

I installed IE7 because - well you have to have the latest and best edition - don't you? Security etc etc. I have a dial up connection. The first time I tried to go on the net after installing I couldn't. The password entry box had gone. The pc kept dialling and kept being refused because my isp wanted the password. As a complete pc amateur and near illiterate I was sweating and very upset by the time frantic button pushing found the solution and got me back my password box.
Now I find that every time I go on the net even once I have established the connection and successfully read my e mail I cannot get into my isp homepage or onto hotmail or any other site without clicking on a "connect" box. The trouble is the box just won't come up sometimes, and I am left watching the wait sign until I give up and reboot. I hate ie 7 and wish I could get rid of it. I tried as soon as I had installed it and found the problems, but it refused to allow me to remove it. Or should I say it was still there after I tried to do a system restore.
The other thing is that my screen quality is now rubbish. Instead of being crisp and black it's grey and fuzzy when I'm on the net and I'm peering at the screen from a foot away and getting eyestrain, and nowhere can I find the option to review and amend this after the intial download gave the option at which time clearly I made the wrong choice. I am very fed up, have sore eyes and sorely tried patience. I feel us poor people who can't afford broadband are being made second class citizens here.
Your opinion.
by Ryo Hazuki - 1/17/07 3:29 PM In reply to: It's horrible for dial up users. by saab 900You have to admit dial-up users don't exactly consist the majority of Internet users nowadays and that problem can be related with many issues (virus, spyware, etc.) other than IE 7, but if it is causing you problems and you want to revert back to IE 6 just go to the Control Panel and remove it.
Yes, I do use Internet Explorer 7.
by Ryo Hazuki - 1/17/07 3:30 PM In reply to: Do you use Internet Explorer 7? by Marc Bennett
And I do like it.

IE6 is still just as safe as IE7.
Why UpGrade? It's too early and there are problems with IE7.
Uhmm! tough to be sure .... don't like IE7 then UnInstall it.
Well I've heard problems about trying to go back to IE6 once IE7 has been installed. But not sure what the actual gripes are.
FireFox 1.5 will soon be unsupported and will have to goto version 2.0
I've never used Opera as a browser.
Technically, as they say "If it ain't broken, then why fix it".
Think of automobiles ... no matter what make or year of the car there is always something not right.
So if IE6 has been working good for you the last few years then why get a new Model? Wait till IE6 loses it support then move on.
Then just maybe IE7 could be better or some other browser had replaced it leaving IE7 in the dust.
I'd prefer to wait. Wish everyone luck with IE7 and VISTA especially if you use-have 64 bit.
Go with MS Office 2007 , less complaints and after getting acquainted
with the new way/features ... it'd be like the changes of the 1980's
and early 1990's when DOS no longer part of the OS and the WWW replaced the Bulletin Board and now we have Cablemodem instead of Dial-up. Things do improve ...it's trial and error to make progress.
Do I want my IE6 back?
by karr7702 - 1/20/07 10:46 PM In reply to: Do you use Internet Explorer 7? by Marc Bennett
We are told that IE7 is more secure than IE6. I'll buy that. But I wish they hadn't fiddled with the way it looks and works. I was really comfortable with the way IE6 felt- that part didn't need improving. I don't care for any of the visible changes. I liked my menu bar on the top row WHERE IT BELONGS! I liked just having two rows taking up space at the top of the window. I liked my small "Links" button in the upper right corner. I liked my "Favorites" menu opening immediately to full length without the little arrows that you have to wait on. (I'd like to get rid of ALL of those suckers!). And, I haven't found any good use for "Tabs". So give me an IE8 that feels like an IE6 and I'll be happy. I wish all software companies would concentrate more on making their programs work flawlessly and securely, and less on giving us a "fresh look" that requires re-learning where everything is. But that doesn't sell as much new product, does it?

No, I prefer Firefox
by jprkenny - 1/23/07 12:04 PM In reply to: Do you use Internet Explorer 7? by Marc Bennett
I have it installed on my machine but I don't seem to use it as I prefer to use Firefox. IE 7 is quite slow, clunky and a bit hard to use from a perspective that they rearranged the tool bars, so I use Firefox.
Firefox while takes forever to boot, is incredibly fast, allows you to customize, uses tabbed browsing (unlike IE that opens new windows when I prefer it to open another tab), made by a non profit organization, and is more secure than IE. Although on some occasions I might use it.
True.
by Ed-duh-win - 1/25/07 7:23 PM In reply to: No, I prefer Firefox by jprkennyTrue. I like IE and I'm an IE man, but I still keep Firefox on my PC because I sense that I will need it sometimes.
Oh, and you can change the settings in IE to open a new tab whenever a link is clicked.
Tools>Internet Options>Geneal Tab>Settings>Under "Open Links from Other Programs In:" - New tab in the current window.
Do you like IE7?

I hate Internet Explorer 7, but it was installed on my new PC. I'd love to go back to IE6.
