    - MICROSOFT SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS A purchased computer from the store do not have enough memory to operate Windows XP Software and Applications. Windows XP memory need to be 1GB or more to operate IE7 and some other software. Windows XP memory upgrade will effectively indicate a difference in downloading and running applications which scan the computer. Internet Explore 7 will function properly without the proper memory for operating system Windows XP. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - IE7 PROBLEMS While working with different brands of computers, I have discovered not enough memory to operate Microsoft Applications and Software. Upgrade memory to 1GB or more for Microsoft Applications and Software to operate normal. Some other applications work better with the memory upgrade. Most errors come from lack of memory; however, no error tell you about memory upgrade as a solution. Tag: SP2 Tag: 150646

    - Two suggestion about IE7 I updated my IE in Windows XP when the OS advised me. After I surfed the internet some days later, I found something inconvenient concerning tabbed windows: 1. When open a new tabbed window, IE7 puts it on the right of the current tabbed window, but when I read over the pop-uped window and close it, then IE7 will select the right tabbed window of the closed window, which isn't related to the content I am reading now at all most times possible. So I have to click the left tabbed window again to continue reading. This is very convenient, even rendered me won't use IE7 again sometimes. 2.When I push down SHIFT key and click LEFT mouse button on a hyperlink, IE7 will open a new instance to open the window, but I checked the option:"Always open new document in tabbed window". I hope the new document really opened in tabbed window. Thanks. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - redirecting ie7 does not work Hello, I=B4am using a ISA Server as a Webproxy. All my internal Clients use this Server as their Webproxy. I=B4ve created a rule that blocks a specific URL: https://mail.corporate.com and redirects the user to http://mail.corporate.com. (So I want to redirect all my users from ssl to normal http). This ISA rule works finde when my client are using ie6 or firefox. But when using ie7 the redirection does not work. The ie7 just says, that it was not able to open https://mail.corporate.com What should I change in ie7 to get this rule working correctly? -- Best regards -Benjamin- Tag: SP2 Tag: 150641

    - MSN Explorer I like Microsoft but have a bit of criticism on Internet Explorer. MSN Explorer 7.02 (which is the last free version of MSN Explorer) loads pages faster than Internet Explorer, on which is based. However it has some drawbacks, which can be easily solved: *It should be free again. *It should be included in future Windows OS releases as the default browser. *It should become a standalone browser (now it runs 'over' IE), while continuing to be based on it. *A pop-up blocker should be added. *A phishing filter should be added. *Tabbed browsing should be included. *Should have a function to switch between Standard and Advanced mode. The Standard mode will be default mode, it won't require users to sign in with their Hotmail account, but it will be available for use by anyone. Also the E-mail links for Hotmail shouldn't be available. The Advanced mode should include Hotmail integration the same way MSN Explorer includes it now. The switch between Standard and Advanced modes should be easy to do from the browser menu. *Skins should be introduced. I think IE, the 'veteran' browser should retire for good, and MSN Explorer (this time for free and by default) should replace it. It even may not be called MSN Explorer, but Windows Live Explorer, or something like that, because many MSN services now are branded as Windows Live. Tag: SP2 Tag: 150634

    - Deploy IE7 Silently With WSUS I'm sure this question must have been answered already but I can't find it! I'm desperately trying to get IE7 to deploy using WSUS3. The update has been approved for certain workstations but the installation only occurs when a user with local administrator rights logs in. The status of the update on each client is showing as 'Downloaded'. None our users are local admins so this is a real problem. Is there any way to have IE7 install via WSUS siliently without an admin logging in? Tag: SP2 Tag: 150629

    - Cannot Access Internet via Proxy Server Hi all Can anyone give me a fault finding procedure to establish why Internet Explorer won't work please? Never had problems with this before, simply put the ip address of the proxy server and the port number into the Lan Settings under the Connections tab and Bob's your uncle - but not in this case! Client is Dell Latitude 830 laptop running XP Pro Server is Win2003 Server running ISA server as Proxy 30+ users connected in the same way and no issues Tried re-inputting all details/logging on as domain admin - still no joy! The user can access the ISA server as this doubles as Exchange box. Anyone any idea where this may be blocked/over-ridden? TIA Phil Tag: SP2 Tag: 150628

However, when i go to download it it tells me i need to be running internet explorer 7. Then when i go to the download page for explorer 7 it tells me i am already running it....grrrrr? So i go to windows update to download from there, but i can only find downloads that tell me not to download if im only downloading to one computer....what in earth am i supposed to do, it keeps going around in circles? I currently run windows vista and obviously explorer 7. SP1 is not available in my updates nor has it been in my auto updates. Tag: SP2 Tag: 150625

    - IE 7 Opening links in Flash files has now become impossible. Firefox will open these links Safari will open these links IE 7 will not.. This has happened since the need to double click was removed from the programme. I have reinstalled IE 7 twice and it still refuses to work. I suspect the problem is widespread and the programmer responsible for this mess needs fixing. Most people are giving up on using IE 7 as a consequence. The version of IE 7 being used is the latest and has no add ons - it is out of the box as is.

    - IE7 hangs "Fixing" troubled computer for friend-- hadn't been to windows update or run antivirus for years. I recently spent hours getting updates (now running XP SP2), installed and ran LiveOneCare, and Spybot S&D....found tons of bad stuff. Now, when I install IE7, it won't connect to any site...just hangs, makes no progress, doesn't even time out. When I go back to IE6, no problem. Also, I can run "quick scan" on LiveOneCare, but when I try to full scan, it gets stuck every time at about 80%....on IE! Any help? thanks Tag: SP2 Tag: 150592

    - Resolved Shrink to fit default! Through hours of scouring posts and finding minimal fixes from MS, I discovered the Outlook printing "hotfix" adds a reg key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_STF_Scale_Min] "pst.exe"=dword:00000064 changing the print default to 100% Since our business uses some apps that use the IE7 browser to print from, add: iexplore.exe"=dword:00000064 as another value defaults printing to 100% in this app. Recently another program printing option (for ID cards) was defaulting to shrink to fit even though it appeared it was using the browser. After conversation with the vendor found that it was using a Crystal wrapper (exe) through the browser as the print call. So it too was fixed (set back to 100% as default) once entering it into that reg key. <sigh> SO if this theory is correct most applications that use in part the browser and call some form of proprietary executable might just respond to this "fix" I hope this helps others :) Tag: SP2 Tag: 150572

    - IE7 Favorites in XP and Vista When I used XP, I had an extensive Favorites list that included a number of categories with several web sites in them. When I would click a particular category, and arrow would point to the various web sites within that category. I would then click on the particular site. I exported the Favorites folder to my newly-installed Vista Home Premium. Now when I click a particular category, I have to click the category again to have a drop-down list of the sites. This "drop-down" list stays expanded until I click the category again. It is a small point to have to re-click a category to have the drop-down list disappear - but an irritating one. Is there a workaround for this? TIA Tag: SP2 Tag: 150569

    - Problem with Outlook Express Ver 6 since IE 7 installation For some reason, since installing IE-7 on my PC some e-mails inside OE lock up when opened (being viewed) (NOTE: this action is not consistant with all msgs). Usually they have a graphic (picture). What happens is that is I can not negotiate in or around the msg (can not scroll, right click, pick anything from the menu bar), all that is available is anything outside that particular OE window and upon closing (Able to pick the red 'x' in the upper right corner to close the problem msg). However, even after closing I can not pick another msg to read. I need to close out of OE all together then reopen. When reopened, as long as I stay out of the file that is giving me trouble, I have no problem. Should I try viewing the msg again, the will freeze OE again. Is there any fix to this problem?

    - IE7 Install not trusted So I decided to upgrade my work comuter from IE6 to IE7. This update was not in the Windows Update menu anymore so I went to microsoft.com and downloaded the installer (Yes, I checked to see that it wasn't just hidden.. it is not in my Windows Update at all). When I go to run it I get this message: "This publisher has been blocked from running software on your machine." www.dissonance.us/fusionowners/up/001.jpg I went into IE6 and removed Microsft from the Untrusted Publishers list as the link on the bottom of the message suggests. I then restarted the computer and tried again. Same message. So I then installed the cert by clicking the link that says "Microsoft Corporation." Restarted computer and same message. When I installed the cert, I let it do this automatically. After that didn't work I manually installed it everywhere on the list that had the word trusted in it.... same message Tag: SP2 Tag: 150547

    - IE6 not updating a page I develop web pages on one computer with a Vista / IE7 configuration. I have another computer with an XP SR2 / IE6 configuration that I'm using to test the pages. Problem: I update my code, confirm that it's updated on my first computer. When I go to view on the second computer, IE6 won't update the page. I have tried: 1. Refresh button, F5. 2. Selecting Tools | Internet Options | Temporary Internet Folders | Settings | Every visit . . . (Also tried Automatically) 3. Deleting Temporary Internet files via Tools | Internet Options and via CCleaner. 4. Re-starting the program after each of the above steps as well. Nothing works and it's pissing me off. Can't be anything to do with my ISP as my first computer is updating no problem with both IE7 and FF2. It appears to something going on with IE6. Ideas anyone? M Tag: SP2 Tag: 150545

    - Some web page text unreadable in IE7 Hello all: I have a PC running WinXP and IE7, that is current with Windows Updates. Sometime in the past couple of weeks a strange problem occurred: on some web pages, some text is unreadable in IE7. I can't figure out why. It's not specially formatted text, and often the unreadable text is just a few words within a sentence when the reast of the sentence and paragraph are readable. If I highlight the text a few times, sometimes I can get part of it to display temporarily. It appears to be an issue with IE7 and not with the particular web pages, because those web pages are entirely readable in an alternative browser such as Opera. Has anyone heard of this issue? Could it be an issue introduced by some recent Windows Update? One other thing, possibly related or not, that also occurred recently: in Outlook 2000, when replying to HTML messages some of the reply text I type is unreadable in the message compose window, even though when the message is sent the recipient does in fact have all the text I typed and it is all readable. I thought I'd add this, in case this symptom of some text being unreadable is related to the IE7 issue. Tag: SP2 Tag: 150529

    - open IE to most recently used tabs I'm using IE 7 on Win XP Home SP2. Several years ago, I used to have IE set so that each time I opened the browser, it opened to whatever pages I had open when I last closed IE. It helped considerably when IE quit unexpectedly and I didn't want to lose track of the several pages I was working on. It was certainly an earlier version of IE, and may have been on the Mac. I want to set my preferences so I can open that way again because I'm getting so many sorry-IE-has-to-close messages (You don't have to respond to that problem; I've found it on another thread and am working my way through proposed solutions).

SP2 must be upgraded through Windows Update selecting custom first, do not
upgrade to SP2 using the entire package or exe file; yes, will cause
problems. SP2 contains updates already installed on computer. Restart
computer after each update. Eventually, SP2 will show as one update package.

How to obtain the latest Windows XP service pack:

And why would you install SP2 if SP3 is available? In fact, if you're
running WinXP SP1, I believe Windows Update would only offer you SP3.
