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.

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
