CommanderRomeo Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 As it is now i can't see much diff in speed. below is a picture of what happens when you hit Alt-F4 and close IE or if you hit the E in the cornor and hit close. Also if you have the Popup blocker on *or if you turn it off* and try to attach something (like a pic to this post) the bloody info bar will come up with the "popup info* even if you add the site to the list/turn the popup blocker off OR hit ctrl it still wont let the popup threw. -Romeo edit : I uninstalled IE 7 beta ...

harleydog Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I noticed this also. 586283781[/snapback] Yup. First bug maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.weir Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I don not like the UI, way too much blank space to visually pleasing. The fact I can't right click a link and open in a new tab is quite annoying. I like my tab bar to hide when I only have one open . . . I just don't see why everyone is so excited, I feel like I have no control over this browser. I'm trying to get into it and use it see if I suddenly just go like "WOW! This really does make sense!" but it's really just . . . blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoXY Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 well they better address this one quickly....:/ and can we install IE6 and IE7 at the same time? I feel the answer is a no, but can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0m8er Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Anyone try Windows Update with IE7B1? It seems to be infinately "searching for updates for your computer" for me. 586283775[/snapback] I see same thing.... Well it's beta 1, will be fixed in the future :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoXY Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I see same thing....Well it's beta 1, will be fixed in the future :yes: 586283849[/snapback] better be fixed in the futre.. so we assume the worst that IE7 is no good with Windows Update, can XP still acure the update?... and do we see the irony? You would think the IE team would at least make their own browser work with their OWN OS update..:rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee G. Veteran Posted July 28, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) Been using it for some hours. It's quite good. Apart from the toolbar arrangement and lack of CSS support it's OK. It's good in some aspects, disappointing in others. I'm never going to get used to the tabs being above the main toolbars.

trance Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 You need to change the user agent string to make it work with WU, as WU is not set up to handle the beta browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronMT Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Just downloaded the IE7 beta from MSDN and would like to try it out although I do not have a test machine. Can I uninstall IE7 if I do not like it? Will IE6 SP2 be restored? I dont want to have to format over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerc Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It is uninstallable from Control Panel -> Add / Remove Programs ... make sure you click the "Show Updates" checkbox at the top if you can't find it in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once again it is Beta 1, it is supposed to have glitches here and there... So that they can fix them later, by final release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colordeficiency Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Maybe I didn't notice this before, but the Icon option in IE7 is tied to Windows Explorer? I'd like IE7 to keep using it small icon option and Windows Explorer to be at Large. Now it seems I can only have either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estranged Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 hmm really not keen on this, the tabs look ugly, and i hate having to have file-edit-view etc, under the taskbar and tabs. unless you can have it above.. and i havnt worked it out yet. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhast Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 If anyone is having trouble installing ie7b1, i just worked it out: someone probably already has tho. In IE6, go Tools>Manage Add-ons blah blah, disable the WGA checking thing (LegitCheckControl.dll), and then delete it from WINDOWS\System32. Then IE7b1 should install. Just figured it out by fiddling. Hope this helps someone. Is this illegal? Is it against forum rules? Sorry. I'll remove it i've need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
