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.

      I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.

      They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
