you can't use windows update but your computer can still download the updates for you and let you know when they are ready to install..good enough for me.

Does any one of our collective membership have any other suggestions on how to get either WUv6 or MicrosoftUpdatev6 to work correctly in IE7_Beta1...

I have tried all these methods:

Will This Solve IE7 Issues W/both Microsoft & WU v6

Posted @Neowin 20050727***

here for the guys with problems:

# Extract IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe with WinRAR (or anything that works) to a temporary directory.

# Open update\iecustom.dll in a hex editor.

# Navigate to hexadecimal offset 0x1034h(4148 decimal) and change 0F 95 to 0F 94.

# Save and execute update.exe.

# Enjoy.

********************************************************************************

ok, i did it on my own, you BS helpers,

people, go download hex workshop 4.2 (its free) and then open the iecustom.dll with the hex workshop 4.2

and go to "edit" and then "replace" and then type 0F95 and change it to 0F94 and save it

all done,

********************************************************************

Even just tried a 'supposely fixed WinXP_IE7_En.exe, no success at all, as WUv6 just keeps scanning.......

Thanks... as I find it quite strange that some colleagues I have chatted with have had WUv6 work fine for them without having to try the above procedures...

I'm not sure... I was having the same problem accessing windows update and it is because the user agent string is not supported by wu. if we can modify the user agent string to make it seem like we are using ie6 then it should work just fine, but i cant seem to figure out how to modify it.

that trick there is if you are using ie7 on a "not so genuine" version of windows and are trying to access windows update.

Anybody notice this when theyre in full screen mode? The address bar and stuff hides and reappears when you move your mouse around the top of the screen. Maybe this is old, but I havent used IE in months so its new to me

that's new for IE 7 I just noticed that about 20 minutes ago. I don't usually view in full screen but I know IE 6 didn't do that

why ie7 standalone install have the phishing feature? But the one included in Windows Vista doesnt? But they are the same build, right?

Am I missing something?

I don't think they're the same build, on Vista the RSS icon is there by default but in XP you have to add it.

Not by default, but it was an option, just like it is in IE7.  Right click on the toolbar in fullscreen mode, and you'll see the Auto-Hide option.  It was there in IE6 too.

wow, did not know that. This just might make me switch back to IE from FF. Even though I like them both.

      Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
