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

I understand the purpose of a BETA is to find BUGS, but my point is that I HOPE that the bugs that get discovered and FIXED will eventually make it OUR way before the FINAL version comes out. The FINAL version won't be out for a LONG time.

Hmm, using the IE7 Beta 2 Preview (b 5296) Microsoft Update gives me a error...

Just checked the IE Public General Newsgroups, and a couple of people there having the same issue, no solution posted yet.

(Did not see any reply related to either Microsoft or Windows Update in the (thus far) 18 page thread...)

hey just found something cool when u go into full screen with IE7 the address bar goes away to bring it back just move ur mouse up to the top of the screen

That's been in every version of IE for as long as full screen mode has existed. So yeah, you're just a little late discovering that feature.

I don't know about you guys, but whoever designed the UI should be shot.

1) No menu bar? That is going to confuse everyone. Not everyone knows that ctrl-c is copy for example. Not everyone is going to know how to turn it on.

2) Buttons scattered all over the place...no consistancy at all, requiring lots of mouse movement and guess work in order to find which button to use

Still trying it out, but the UI is very unimpressive.

The Menu Bar is Hidden. Pressing the Alt Key brings up the Menu Bar.

Hmm. Installing, gives me this error:

Help?

My suggestion (unless there is a solution posted already that you may want to try is: go to the [temp] IE7 Newsgroup:

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Here you will find (hopefully) some solution as this question has been asked by many...some users who have had this issue have posted some of their attempts to rectify this error...Good luck

"We think we've found the culprit causing this problem and should have a

solution posted soon (if it's not up already). Once we've verified the

workaround we'll make sure people know about it."

I just installed IE7 beta 2.

2 things:

1) Is it possible to keep the Menu Bar always visible? Or should I press "Alt" each time I want to access it?

2) How can I have my links from the "Links" Favorites subfolder on the toolbar, like in previous IE versions? (edit: OK I just figured this one out)

Thank you.

You can keep the menu bar visible by opening the tools Drop Down Menu, the go to toolbars and select "Classic Menu" OR right click under where your home/copy/cut/feeds area is and select classic menu.

After installing IE7, Outlook Express always prompt me for user/password to my Hotmail account whenever I try to view Inbox or any other folder (Sent, etc). Any solution to this so that OE will not prompt me for user/password ever again?

Hmmm, I just started to get this today too with my WLM Beta acct (wBay 106) and it did not occur when I initially installed IE7 Beta 2 some three days ago...

I'm searching the temp IE7 Newsgroup @microsft.public.interenetexplorer.general to hopefully 'run into' a possible solution, if_when I do I will post up here. Was also getting errors (only on this account) when opening O.E.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      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.
