I get "Internet Explorer could not be installed. Please take a look at the logs in your system directory."

(my xp is activated/validated)

Do a sytem resore, before you try to download againg. One restore is done, goto microsoft genuine advantage and validate windows. Close IE and then download IE7. Worked for me.

The problem with Live Mail is really getting annoying... I too would like them to fix the site, it's kind of stupid to have a MS browser (even though it's in beta), to not work with a MS website (also in beta). They're being developed at the same time, I would think they would make sure they work.

What doesn't work? I've been usin Live Mail for awhile now, and all 3 versions of IE 7 that I've used, have worked with it, for me. Unless there's somethin missing I aint seeing, lol.

I'm sticking with my Deer Park nightly for now. IE still feels too cluttered, gimmicky and chunky. Until I can customise it to look like that below, I aint using it! I'm open though, and will keep testing builds as they come to see if it improves.

Multiple tabs: Click Here

Quick Tabs: Click Here

Favourites: Click Here

With Live Mail Beta: Click Here

Just a couple for people's general interest...

Seems to run good on some and bad on others (a trademark of beta software). On one machine I installed it on (identical to another it ran fine on) it uses lots of processor when clicking links and loading the new pages. Even on neowin forum, just going to the next page of posts takes 30 seconds or more.

The lack of advanced tab functions is a show stopper for me. The tabbedbrowser extentions for firefox beat it by miles.

.. Or is it just me? :s

I have rebuild my icon cache btw.

Mine is like that too, even was with the last Beta 2 release. I have been fixin the icon manually, lol.

Well from what I've noticed, only newly installed programs seem to not show the IE shortcut icon.

I hope you guys are not installing this unstable beta on your main work or home machines. It replaces IE6 so you are SOL if you installed it on your main work machine and are having trouble.

:rolleyes:

lol!!! well it can be removed and Windows reverts back to IE 6, which in my opinion is the unstable browser.

:rolleyes:

I went back to IE6 on several machines with no problems.

no its not i wish people would stop asking. Its been said been reported before that you cant :no:

Actually there is a way, and the method has been around for some time now. Below are the instructions (which were posted earlier in this thread, and easily found with a Google search) and a screen shot of it working.

* Extract IE7B2P-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe to a temporary folder.

* Working within' the extracted directory, delete the following:

o update\

o install.ins

o spmsg.dll

o spuninst.exe

o spupdsvc.exe

* Create a blank text file within' the directory and rename it to iexplore.exe.local.

* Move the directory to a location in which you want to store the now standalone version of Internet Explorer 7 Preview (eg. X\IE7 BETA2).

* Execute iexplore.exe.

      I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.

      They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
