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 :) .

    • Anyone Here With Turbo Pascal Experience?

      Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

      Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
