    - IE7, running vista ultimate 64-bit, and myspace Everytime I try to login to myspace I get a message stating that ie has stopped working and needs to restart or something to that effect. I have another system running xp pro sp2 and have no problem connecting to any websites. So my guess is that it has to do with a combination of the os and ie on this system. Can anyone help? -- Don't touch the Ipod Signed: The Raven Tag: IE 7 using XP Pro Tag: 150748

    - login to live services I am not able to access any site starting with login.live.com. From any live service, I click the sign in link (in Internet Explorer )and it takes me to a blank white page. When I try to log in in Firefox, it takes me to the sign in page like I would expect it to. It also works in Firefox using the IE tab extension, but I am unable to sign into any live service in Internet Explorer. I have tried disabling the windows live sign-in helper add-on in Internet Explorer, but that did nothing to fix the problem. Also, I am able to log in just fine in Internet Explorer on our other computer, just not on this computer. I originally emailed windows live support, by the redirected me here.

    - IE7 Tabs Not Working Running IE 7 and XP Pro SP2. The problem just started today. When I hold down the Ctl key and click on a link, IE use to open up a new tab for the web page. Now it opens a new tab which says Connecting... and a blank page. If I just click on the link without holding down the Ctl key it goes to the link. I don't recall making any changes but we all know how that is. Any ideas as to what the problem is? Tag: IE 7 using XP Pro Tag: 150721

    - Service Pack3 and IE7 I use Windows XP home with IE7. I read microsoft article saying that I need to uninstall IE7 prior to install new service pack3. It stated if I install service pack3 with IE7 in my PC I won't able to uninstall IE7 in the future. The ariticle recomend I uninstall IE7 first, then install service pack 3 then re-install IE7 after that. My question is will I encounter with a problem other than not be able to uninstall IE7? also, What kind(degree) of inconvenience will I have if I can not uninstall IE7 later? Should I follow this advice? Thank you in advance for the advice. Meg Tag: IE 7 using XP Pro Tag: 150694

    - Problem with AVG Free 8, Vista Home Premium SP1 and IE7 Installed Free AVG 8 here today on two systems - Vista Home Premium SP1 and XP SP3 with IE7. On the Vista machine, the installation of AVG 8 broke IE7 in opening a second window - it just hung until the "not responding" message appeared. I tried installing AVG without the surfsearch function, and without the Linkscanner module - still couldn't open a second window in IE. Uninstalling of AVG 8 cured the problem. The installation on XP SP3 with IE7 had no effect at all. IE7 behaved perfectly normally. Anyone seen this, and is there a fix? (The reason I went for AVG is that it picked up a virus on my XP machine that Avast! did not.....) Tag: IE 7 using XP Pro Tag: 150677

When I open the browser window there is nothing in the address bar and there is nothing on the page. But at the bottom of the page "done" is displayed as it would if the page had actually loaded. When I try to type a web address in the address bar i get an error message in a small box that says the page is not currently available. I have checked my internet connection it is fine. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you fix it ? I also tried to reset IE and that did not work either. Thanks. Tag: IE 7 using XP Pro Tag: 150657

    - 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: IE 7 using XP Pro 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: IE 7 using XP Pro 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.

    - 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: IE 7 using XP Pro 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: IE 7 using XP Pro 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: IE 7 using XP Pro 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: IE 7 using XP Pro 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: IE 7 using XP Pro 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: IE 7 using XP Pro Tag: 150529

    - Changing homepage settings I have IE7 and use MSNBC as a homepage. I've tried to modify which and how many columns or boxes I see (e.g., sports 5, local news 10, etc) but when I bring up IE again, all the old settings are there. Even though I live in Illinois, I keep getting NY weather! Tag: IE 7 using XP Pro Tag: 150522

I just installed IE 7 after using IE 6 for years. All black type on all
pages has a green halo around almost every letter. Didn't have the problem
with 6 or with Firefox (alternate browser) or any office programs. What is
causing this--is there a setting I need to change?
