[Prince21]

Anyone else get a error msn website looks all messed up, so far most sites I have visited are OK?, also I did speed test seems my internet connection has been decreased slightly?

[Chode]

I love the interface!

I would give my left.....well, parts of my anatomy to have the same favourites system in Opera!

[sk11vengeance]

is it just me or is there no way to turn off the sound when you go back and forth between web pages and folders in windows? ever since i installed the public preview, its making that sound, and i have sounds turned off in the control panel. any ideas? thanks.

If someone noticed this :no: , the leaked version of IE7 Beta 2 a few days ago is build 5299 while this one says 5206 :wacko:

[Prince21]

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

msn sites looking messed up ? hmmm.

anyone experienced errors using/posting in msn groups or spaces.msn.com ?

[intersys]

I got mine from

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/ie7betaredirect.mspx

But im having a problem installing it, I'm stuck at 50%

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.

beta.msn.com is messed up, whereas the original msn.com works fine.

To save me searching through the whole thread, is there a solution to Outlook Express not working properly after installing IE7 beta 2? ie. when you click on links in an email they don't open any more. The same bug was in IE7 beta 1 :whistle:

[mad_onion]

i was really looking forward to using this but form the sounds of it it has so many bugs and issues that i really dont want to risk it :s . but i guess i can wait for the final release i hope that will be less buggy lol :D or nobody will be using it

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.

He is talking about the Public Preview Build that this thread is all about....

Then why did he talk about 5269?

I wait for your answer on that

:devil:

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.

Yes it was typo. :blush: Thanks for clarifying the point. So nice of you :wub:

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 :) .

I for one downloaded this yesterday and installed it and I liked it right away! Most features still need improving but it is a start. I can see this browser challenging the likes of Firefox and Opera when it is closer to the final!

[Timothy003]

Just download it here. It has been publicly released.
