What's the reason for IE7?  It is not better - but worse?

IE7 is a major security upgrade. Oh yea, there are some new looks too!\n\nGo through the Internet Options (in the tools menu on your 3rd toolbar) and turn off the anti phishing to speed it up. You can also get rid of your tabs and search bars if you want too.\n\nMaybe a little slower, but MUCH more secure for everybody. Hey, I've NEVER been infected with a virus even using IE6 forever. Yes, I have Firefox, but didnt go places or do things that were stupid. Even knowing all this, I'm keeping IE7. You should too.

I uninstalled IE7 and went back to IE6. Fixed the problem for me.

well if it makes you feel better, you are not the only one having trouble with IE-7  the browser is not working or installing right at this time. I would wait a mounth and then do it.after microsoft fixes the darn thing.

Use Firefox instead. Anyone with an educated opinion will tell you that it is far superior to Internet Explorer. \nhttp://www.getfirefox.com/

Internet explorer has very limited options concerning this. IE7 is supposedly going to incorporate some of these features, but there is no guarantee. Stick with FireFox and you'll be much, much happier.\n\nIf you still must use IE for some sites, check out some of the FireFox extentions that address this

This is a terrible idea. There are better solutions out there than IE! Don't do it!

Well, Microsofts motivations are pretty transparent. Real freeware browser alternatives are coming up like Firefox and Opera, that a lot of people find a lot more pleasent to use. IE7 contains the same stuff as previous versions of IE, but the layout is more like firefox and it supports "tabbed surfing".\n\nI think the problem is, the sophisticated users have all already moved on.

I've personally experienced many problems with IE7 at work when our IT department  downloaded it to all our computers. It was so bad they had to uninstall and go back to IE6.  The biggest problem is not every website recognizes IE7 yet (they have to modify their codes to recognize IE7.)  You might want to go through this website (written by someone involved with Internet Explorer since 1999) and see what she has to say about it..... especially the "Known Issues" section:\n\nhttp://www.ie-vista.com/\n\nplrr

As between these two, Firefox, without doubt. IE has been, and continues to be, riddled with security problems. So safety goes to Firefox (properly configured). Make sure you've gone through every menu and setting under Tools, and made good choices, before you use it. Poorly configured Firefox is not all that secure. Of course, even optimally configured IE has lots of problems, so there isn't much choice. \n\nOn the faster front, things are less clear. some have reported IE (one version or another) to be faster than Firefox (one version or another). Let's look at some details. Firefox allows you to adjust your settings more easily than IE. And so you can tell Firefox not to download popup or popunder windows (makes things faster, less garbage traffic) and you can tell Firefox not to download images unless you ask (less data unless needed, so faster).  And so on. There's a Firefox extension called FasterFox which automatically loads stuff in the background when you're inactive for a moment, and it can speed things up a good bit. It also requires configuration and probably  experimentation to find the fastest settings in your situation. And there are several other firefox extensions which filter out other detritus and trash and so don;t use the limited bandwidth you have. Things will seem to load faster. So for the faster question, I think it's Firefox, properly configured, and perhaps with the right extensions. \n\nAs for better, if it's safer and faster, where's the doubt?\n\n======\n\ncaveats\n\nMicrosoft is in the midst of rewriting substantial parts of IE, so it is said. if so, the next version of IE may be better than past version have been. But Firefox sets a high standard, so IE has a considerable ways to go. Due out sometime early next year, and only for Windows, naturally.

Uninstall IE 7 - it's completely rubbish and messes with your computer.  If you can't uninstall it go to system restore and roll back to before you installed it - DON'T try to install it again - it's a disaster - countless people are constantly on here asking for help with it - just don't bother it's not worth it.  IE6 is fine so if it ain't broke don't upgrade it for no reason.

It is scheduled for release along with Windows Vista in "Winter 2007" -- although it may not be released until early 2007, as it has already been delayed multiple times...\n\nHowever, I would not recommend using it. Firefox is much better. The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has been suggesting that people should not use IE due to its many security flaws for several months now, and they show no signs of abating for IE 7. You can download Firefox at the link below, it is only a few megabytes, so why not give it try? :)

read a review of IE7 VS Firefox 2 from a reputable site: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10442_7-6656808-1.html?tag=nl.e415\n\nI've installed both Firefox 2 and IE7, and I can only say that I agree with them.

You only need to do a search on here to see how many people are having problems with IE7. The best thing to do is download Mozilla Firefox available from http://click-downloads.com/firefox-2-free/ Its faster, more user friendly, easily customizable to suit your need and no problems.

G'day Tericka,\n\nI am one of those that have "rolled back", actually did an uninstall of IE7 and my system reverted back to V6, so I expect the people that wrote it new we wouldn't like it, go figure.\n\nAnyway, IE7 just seems way too memory and processor hungry, every page you visit loads slower.\n\nFunctional-wise not much has changed but the layout has become more graphical instead of the IE6 graphic/text layout.\n\nI think IE7 is more geared to the high end machines and probably one of those situations where we have the new software but the machines need to evolve to run it properly.\n\nPlain and simple, wait.\n\nGood Luck, Rod
