Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 RC1


Recommended Posts

Just tried it. Everything worked pretty well, except....I lost my email connection. It said I wasn't connected to the Internet. IE 7 and Maxthon worked well though.

I uninstalled it and still couldn't connect with my email. I still had a "help" link in my toolbar. I used system restore (I set my own restore point) and now everything is fine. The "help" link is now gone too.

Just that little matter of my email :blink:

Just a word of warning to Logitech SetPoint users out there, uninstalling IE7 BETA will wipe your setpoint settings, I do not now why or how but this has happened when I updated to BETA3 and now RC1 as well! it is very strange! - I have alot of custom menus on my logitech keyboard set and also custom buttons on my MX1000 so was quite annoyed but luckily from the last time it happened I saved screenshots of each custom menu so I knew what to put back to what button :)

Also it looks like this RC1 release fixes the disk cleanup entry :laugh:

This is a good thing :)

hehehe, good point. :D

PS: by the way, RC1 is running fine here. Still have some troubles like it won't go automatic for the next blank windows when u're on a internet banking site, and it still eating my RAM with 2,3 or four tabs opened. Using like 50mb.

Going back again to I.E 6 =|

Installed 7, Norton antivirus stopped working. Any one else with this problem?

Uninstalled 7 and all was well again.

I know with McAfee, my anti-virus service didn't work at all until Beta 3 when McAfee issued a compatibility update. Maybe Norton will do the same thing.

The only thing I don't like of IE7 since the first release and is still present in RC1 is the EXPIRED LOADING TIME, when a webpage have maaany images (300, 400 or more images), after more or less 30sec the loading cancels and I need to reload the webpage to continue the downloading the rest of the images :angry:

No problems with Norton

RC1 is pretty good. It's going to take me some time to convince myself that its better than Firefox.

Thats because it isnt...

BTW, has anyone noticed how tiny the writing on The Register is with IE7 yet? www.theregister.co.uk

Compare that with Firefox and IE6

Wtf did Microsoft do? :blink:

I still don't think IE7 is quite as good as Firefox 2.0. The latter just seems easier to customize.

Just for anyone who runs into the problem that I did...

I ran into a "normaliz.dll cannot be found, explorer.exe cannot start" after I uninstalled beta 3, rebooted, and then installed RC1.

The way to fix this:

1. control+alt+delete ...the task manager will load.

2. go to File --> New task --> Browse. Browse to where the IE7 RC1 installer is.

3. Assuming you have WinRAR (or something able to unzip installers) unzip the contents of the IE7 installer.

4. Inside you will find the "normaliz.dll" in question. Right Click --> Copy.

5. Go to your Windows\system32 directory --> paste.

6. Then hit cancel a bunch of times to get back to the task manager

7. go to File --> New task

8. type "explorer.exe" (without the quotes) and hit OK...explorer should now load.

I hope this helps.

p.s. Important note: When I unRAR'd the installer for RC1 I did not find the normaliz.dll file inside ...I had to go find my installer from Beta 3 to get the file, strange, but it worked.

Thanx for this my friend! :yes:

Those tricky bastards! I had filed a bug report back when IE7 beta 1 first came out saying that Favorites and Links would lose their favicons after a short period of time. They closed it, saying that it was By Design and would not be fixed. Well what do you know, IE7 RC1 saves the favicons for Favorites and Links!

Very funny about Norton, I know I should know better than admit I use it, but Zonealarm was such a dissapointment, especially there Customer couldn't care less we have the money now, so Screw you attitude, I went back to Norton. I tried something else honest, but at least it works. Just put my asbestos suite on so Im ready.

A word of WARNING to those that will replace a certain dll to install it on an illegal version of Windows: Do NOT do that. It knackers your explorer.exe and Windows will stop starting.

I guess I can post this here? I don't Neowin does endorse piracy etc., but can we help those who may travel to the dark side?

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
