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.

Here are some general screens for people to see (fairly large images):

1 tab: Click Here

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...

what theme are u using or is it Vista?

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.

Anyone else noticed that .url shortcuts no longer have an icon after installing this?

.. 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.

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.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
