I get this error on 3 different machines I've tried to install on. As far as I can tell, there's no fix for it so far. MS is aware of it though.

So far build 7.0.5269.0 is performing flawlessly for me!

Thanks Mr Gates this is an improvement in my browsing experience.

Oh and the correct offset is: 0F AC heh heh heh

Did you get an unleaked/unreleased build or did you mean 5299?

If so, I advise you to update it, as even if it's an earlier build, the facts prove it's working better.

r u stupid it says 5296 not 5206 and yes this is better than leaked version

It's a simple typo and you need to grow up little child.

Also for the ones going on and on about the build number. Build 5299 doesn't necesarially mean it's a newer version than 5296. It can have a build number of 5296, but be compiled at another date. Say 5299 was released on Jan 20th. They could have had a more stable version before that. They could have taken build 5296, fixed a few little things and recomplite it while keeping the build number of 5296 and released that at a later time. Notice that 5299 doesn't work with Windows Live Mail and 5296 does. All the issues in the leaked version aren't in this one as far as I can see.

That's mainly why everybody on 5299 should update. Live Mail is not the only site I've seen that shows improvement on 5296 (AOL Videos, for example)

If a security hole is found, or something else of that nature, will there be patches for this? Or are we SOL until the final -- supported -- version of IE 7 ships?

well I think it is in BETA so that they can FIND those kind of things. They will probably INCORPORATE the fixes into the next release... it something is a serious concern they will probably realease a PATCH

HP & Dell websites are another. I haven't tried it on the Office 12 website - forgot the address. If anyone remembers please post it here. Windows Live Mail also works fine for me. I'm still looking for other notable bugs and will post it if I discover one :) .

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
