Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 RC1


Recommended Posts

Nope, there is no error. So I guess it works then.

thanks jermey. i dled it, and your right, it works fine. only prob im having with rc1 so far is outlook express not connecting immediatly. i get the "no connection to the internet is currently available" message, but all i gotta do is hit the "try again" button, and it will check and receive mail. so gotta find a way to fix this issue, and im pretty impressed with IE7 so far

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!

I'm thinking that someone else brought the issue up and eventually they decided to fix the problem but they obviously didn't go back and change what they told you. Either that or it was fixed along the way.

Is there a way to select a favourite (Left click) & get it to open in a new tab by default instead of middle clicking yet as per older builds?

I currently do not have ie7 installed but as I recall correctly of beta 2, you can set tabs to open all the time (ie not open a new window ever upon left click). Look around in the tab settings :)

So is that the argument the Firefox faithful are using now? Don't use IE7, because it'll suck in the future?

:rolleyes:

No, that's just what alpha_omega said.

I'm going to keep using Firefox because I'm sick and tired of working around rendering bugs and IE7 only partially fixes some in 6 making things even more complicated haveing to support 2 IEs - and more Firefox users equals more pressure on MS to finally fix them in IE8 or something. I'm going to keep using it because I can't get by without extensions. And cause dammit I like it.

Just to mention, IE7 RC1 won't browse to any pages on MCE (some error comes up :( ) and WMP11 comes up with an error about wininet.dll every time the PC boots (apparently due to a DLL mismatch)

I should also mention they both work fine on XP home

Both are working fine for me on MCE.

I love what they are doing with Firefox 2, but you are right about the tab browsing in IE7 not feeling right.

agree ctrl T new tabs open so slow compared to firefox, also in live mail

mail.live.com

when u try to do @ with alt 64 it goes to the url bar =/ and the lack of customization its one of those disadv of ie7

i think that moving from ie6 to ie7 its a huge step but its still premature and microsoft really need classic interface to ie 7, change its good but not everyone would accept it.

how do i contact MS to send some bugs?

RC1 broke Zephyr Development Corporations Passport system

beta 3 workd fine.

If you are an official beta tester theres connect or the IE7 newsgroup,otherwise I havent got a clue

tab browsing just doesnt feel the same in IE. In firefox its very smooth, tabs r moveable. The 1 close button per tab is just plain stupid; something i hope firefox will drop in ver2

i even feel more comfortable with IE6 non tab than using IE7

and way to go MS

i unistalled IE7 beta3 and u give /SYSTEM ROOT/CMD not found error at startup...

tab browsing is smooth in ie7 and the tabs are movable. im guessing you didnt use it before making remarks.

i did use beta3

and its a definate "YES" tab browsing is not smooth in IE

if u use firefox u will know the transition between tabs r perfect [no lag]

but in IE, when u move viewing from one tab to the other, the moment u click the new tab theres a "WHITE" pause [gives u a page refresh/loading feel]

im no fanboy and happly give any browser a try, in the end i only pick the best according to my needs

    • Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
