One thing I've noticed in the final, and maybe this is due to installing speckie though I have it dissabled right now, since I leave IE open 24/7 etc after coming back to it after some time has passed if I click on older tabs I haven't went too in some time there's a small delay which I'm guessing is due to it paging into ram maybe? Anyone else notice this? I don't think I had this in the RC before and the only change was the addon that I installed this time around.

I noticed that speckie caused some delay when I used google search, it took a few seconds before I could open any links returned, but after disabling speckie, opening links was instantaneous. Maybe try disabling all add-ons and see if it happens, might be an out-dated add-on or something.

I think it's speckie to, it's the only add-on I have installed other than flash which was there since the RC and leaked beta so I know it's not flash. Speckie is disabled atm so I'll see how it goes. This isn't on new tabs/sites that I open it's more on older tabs that I have already open but haven't clicked on for hours which is why I was also thinking it could just be IE9 paging out the memory for that tab since I haven't used it in quite a while.

I keep 4-5 tabs open for sites I might not go back to after 4-5 hours etc.

*edit*

Oh and one last bit of info the click delay ONLY happens the first time, after that the tabs switch back and forth fast just like new, so ya, could be some memory paging going on. Anyone have tabs open that they've left sitting there for 4-5+ hours before going back to notice this?

Can anyone confirm if they can launch and play GTA4 while having IE9 installed?

Yes it works, I tried it with the RC and had constant SecuROM issues with wininet.dll, a known issue AFAIK.

looks like i will be switching from ie 9 final to FF 4 final this upcoming week.

Never even made the switched. Used IE9 like for 15min and switched back. It sure is fast, but not noticeably different from FF4 in my case. I assume the next thing for MS to work is addon implementation and support for js scripts. Once they add that, it will be more suitable for my use.

IE9 looks like a rushed release, so improperly tested before public release. They should release a new version 9.x to address all these issues

What are all these issues you talk about? It works fine for me and the websites I use.

So I can install the final version of IE9 and still be able to play GTA4?

Works fine for me.

The only issue I have noticed is some rather high memory usage with some embedded flash applets. I've switched from Firefox to Chrome to IE 9, and can say it's my new favourite browser.

I'm curious what issues? I figured IE9 was prolly more tested than anything else released previously.

No doubt. I thought it had been tested longer than usual.

No issues what so ever on 8 installs!!

The only thing I've noticed is it resets my cache/temp internet file size. Why does MS always insist on making that so huge?!

250MB is huge? Well that was my default size anyways but I moved it down to 100MB.

On 2 drives of mine it had changed it to 1250MB!!

I set mine at 50MB all the time. I have older machines and smaller hard drives compared to most people. I don't save squat on my computers, so no need for a huge hard drive.

Out of 8 machines, biggest hard drive is 1 @ 160GB's. All others are 80GB and smaller.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
