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 :) .
