So far I have seen the following issues:

Browster makes IE7 go haywire.

AresP2P causes IE7 not to connect to the internet.

IE Middle Clicker (plugin for IE6) causes links to open twice because IE7 already has the ability to open links in new windows/tabs by middle clicking the mouse.

Google Toolbar and Dictionary.com toolbars work fine.

I think someone should start a list of stuff that works and doesnt work.

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...

Can anyone confirm if this works or not? :wacko:

Edit: Nevermind, .. its dont. It just stops IE all together when trying to load the update site. Dont try it.

Has anyone been able to run this on the x64 edition of Windows? Or am I a retard and it's for x86 only. :cry:

[Edit] Just realized it's only out for XP SP2 and will be coming out for x64 later in the beta cycle.

@xtrm.

IE7 could be installed on every system.

here is example, but with russian language code (0x19).

1. unpack archive

2. open update.inf

3. looks for LangTypeValue = 0x09 string

4. change it to 0x19, save

5. change it to 0x09, do not save

6. run update.exe

7. save update.inf

8. change code to 0x19, do not save

9. press, next, next, next...

10. during back up, save update.inf.

Believe me, all this hussle isn't worth the effort. IE7 isn't what I hoped for, maybe the next BETA does a better job.

this is beta 1... i believe this beta was intended to get the bugs out of the interface. the next beta will probably be for developers to test out webpages... just wait and see, things will get better. never judge a program by it's beta :yes:

This is a BETA.

The GUI will most likely change dramaticly, the speed of page loading will most likely increase slightly, and feautires will be added / subtracted.

Usually, I am a BETA ######. I would never do this with a decently running piece of pre-release, but I un-installed IE7, and just have it RaRd' and sitting in my archives. IE 6 runs much smoother, no crashes, and honestly .. you would be wise to not kid yourself and get rid of this crap.

IE7 dont make you l33t, it just makes you less functional.

Unless anyone here can crack open IE7, mod it, and fix the crap problems it has, .. Ill wait for Beta 2.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I understand Microsoft's intention here, at least I think I do. There have been so many printer driver related problems over the years due to OEM printer drivers not be compatible with the latest Windows update, that Microsoft wants to eliminate those by controlling the printer driver updates and keeping them compatible with the latest Windows update. That is okay as far it goes, but what it can do is put limitations on printers that wouldn't be there with OEM drivers since the OEM printer drivers are not universal drivers. It's a tradeoff and one can only hope it doesn't turn all Windows printers into $69 Brother printers.
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Vivaldi is a very unique browser. It's the only chromium based browser that has its own powerful and fully customizable UI. It even supports CSS like firefox based browsers do. If someone wants a powerhouse chromium based browser, Vivaldi is actually his only option. All other chromium based browsers just tweak the vanilla chromium UI. It also comes from an ethical company that has proved its ethics all these years. Something very rare in the chromium world... (all other companies which develop chromium based browsers own an ad company, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera etc).

      I really wish Zoom would have been the collaboration tool most organizations ended up with. Teams is garbage.

      While I agree that in some instances you should be wary of the government, shouldn't we also be wary of corporations that have the money, reach and power of many governments? Having good regulations is essential for population protection (from corps trying to make more money than the other guy). At least we can vote in and out governments, but these days your choice of consumer tech is now only a few very large players. And we also know "consumers" are idiots and need protecting, it's literally the government's job to deliver those services.
