how i can download IE7

i'd like it IE 7

I happy that this is the topmost site

can I use this safely

well i just got a computer with windows xp and i do my weekly updates. i am downloading IE 7 now, which will take almost an hour and a half. I hope I am able to get back online again. When I had my old computer, I tried to download IE 5.5. (a few years ago, folks) and when I restarted my computer I could not even make it to the desktop. My system was messed up.

IE 7.0 will not allow me to enjoy the weather channel updates for weather reports for my area.
A real Bummer!
It blows the software program off with every cold boot.

i just got cued that a msn security update was downloaded and needed my permission for installation...when i saw it was the IE7.0 i cancelled it...im not opting for trouble...

NO WORKING WHEN DOWLOADED FILE IT IS JUST A MPEG AUDEO FILE STUFF

I downloaded Internet Explorer 7 from yahoo,got stuck with their advertisement,trying to elete that,downloaded Internet Explorer7 for XP couldn't get a dial-up,so I removed the one for the XP and still have the advertisement for Yahoo ---help

Just downoaded and installed IE7. Totally messed with my pc so unintalled and all ok.

I tried it and I dont like it alot of my pages would not completly load!! switched back to 6.0

IE7 causes problems with HP scanning and Quicken banking. Needs further work.

Downloaded IE7 off update site, what a piece of crap. Don't like it at all after a couple of hrs playing around with it I went back to IE 6.0. What an ugly looking piece of software ... yuk!

i don't understand what the problem is with downloading explorer 7 to windows or microsoft internet explorer????

I am very interested in using IE7, its screen and option are very friendly and favourable for users. But when I open a new link in the current window, in stead of appearing in a new tab as Firefox, it will be appeared in a new window. That makes lots of IE windows on the taskbar so it is inconvenient management them.

Does the IE7 has a option as Firefox which allow me open a new link in another tab in the current window? Please help me!

I downloaded IE7 and I am having some problems. My default email is Outlook Express. We are DSL and I never had a problem. Since downloaded IE7 I can not open links to to me in email the system hangs up! No is not my system. It has something to do with IE7.
Guess what folks we are doing the research and testing for them.....guess what else. I don not like it!
I think you need to go back to the drawing board on this one. Thanks

hi,

Regarding popup blockers. Presently for old application we are using internet explorer version6.0. popup blockers need to be turned off when using Internet Exploere version6.0. there is problem when user used by internet explorer7.0. For new application will need to be entered into the Trusted Sites section because of having two or more pop-ups (when creating reports), which IE7 is not allowing (it allows only one pop-up).

Downloaded ie7, it crashes whenever i try to multitask or click on the close icon. what a piece of shit, i have noe downloaded firefox and have no problems. ie7 sucks.

downloaded ie7, hangs up whenever i multitask or click on the close icon, what a piece of shit. i now have firefox and it is going well. ie7 sucks

Just upgraded to DSL.
Was prompted by ISP to download IE7 so I did.
Now I can't get any anti virus software to install!! Have removed IE7 and am back to IE6, but still not luck.

Had to system restore to get the awful IE7 off my computer! Horrible. When turning on my computer would get fatal error blue screen. Safemode and then did system restore. Nightmare!!!

IE 7.0 has just compounded the problems already inherent in the previous version. Doesn't anyone test drive this stuff before they send it into the traffic?

Updated to internet explorer 7.0 from 6.0 and very sorry I did. Tried everything to uninstall to get the 6.0 back and it won't help. Even tried the uninstaller tool kit and still nothing. It seems to be possessed. How do I get back to 6.0? Shouldn't put upgrades not tested!!! I'm glad I have aol to use. They have their own browser.

IE7 Sucks. It came through with automatic updates, took two hours to download even with broadband. Crashed the computer (a modern top of the range Dell with Windows XP). Totally messed up Outlook Express 6 with irritating error messages on sending messages but no other obvious issues. Totally changed the appearance of the Home Page with all kinds of things I didn't want and none of the things I use all the time. Fortunately System Restore in XP overcame all the issues so now I am happy again with IE 6 and automatic updates turned off. But, I guess this could leave me with a vulnerability.

I'm totally teed off with Microsoft's approach - just creating problems to milk the cash cow and totally ignoring the customers and customer choice.

After installing IE 7, my browser could not connect to the internet, I had error warnings after reboot, and I couldn't close the browser without ctrl/alt/del.

Uninstalled it via control panel, and now everything is much better.

My conclusion...it's more flakey garbage. Don't download it for another 6 to 12 months.

Last night I downloaded 7.0. i use AOL 9.0 dailup. One of my problems I now have when I try to go to particular sites using ie 7.0, it says "no online coneection found". What gives?

I installed IE7 after automatic down load (dial-up, 50 minutes) and so far have had no problems. Feel sorry for y'all. I may NOT be all MS fault?

I downloaded IE 7 from a cable connection- no probs with my laptop yet. For those with slow connections, order a cd with IE7 and save hassles. For those using third party sw to browse, IE7 will not operate with unknown sw by default, go to the help menu to change settings. IE 7 is for security and that means user freedom takes a dive.

Last night I downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 7. It took quite awhile to complete. I thought it would be something good. It turned out I could not get my mail from MSN and I could not open my virus protector. The bottom line is it messed my computer up. I couldn't wait to go to the control panel and uninstall it. After that was done all was OK. They need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

Never as easy as it looks. I think changes stinks.

Just hate it ...it looks awful too.

I recently downloaded IE 7 at the prompting of Microsoft Automatic Updates, but the installation went on forever without ever being completed (I have a DSL connection). Microsoft Support led me to an article, id # 926716, which suggests skipping the steps which install the updates and the Malicious Software Removal Tool, as this is the point where the installation repeatedly hangs. Can this be a good idea? Is there any way to remove the uninstalled downloaded IE 7? It isn't causing any apparent problems, but after reading of all the problems caused by IE 7, I would prefer to remove it from my computer for now.

This sounds like deja vu all over again!! I downloaded it and now I cannot get my homepage. I believe I saw it once. A friend told me that I wouldn't like this but I was hoodwinked into thinking I should upgrade. Now how do I get rid of it??? Explorer 7 that is! Shirley Scharf

A couple of days ago I downloaded IE7 through Automatic Update. The install went quickly (T1 Lan Internet access) and was without problem. Now the fun begins... The program has "stopped responding" several times (Windws XP Pro), it locks up, freezes etc. It seems typical of Microsoft to push out bloatware that is just good enough. Not great software (I can't recall ever installing a "great piece of software from Microsoft) but just good enough. Why do they even bother?

Downloaded by running through the Update. I then re-booted as instructed. My first observation was that my Default Page had chamged. I typed in another URL and it opened a new window, and another, and another until my PC ground to a hsalt! The behaviour is totally wierd - I can only go to my Default Page and sub-pages therein. I can change my Default Page though. After checking my Security Settings a number of times I gave up and I went back to IE6. That is now well messed up as well. Microsoft have a dominant market position but rubbish like this is just abusing it. Linux beckons...

I SUCKS BIG TIME...

I see tht everyone seems to be havina a miserable time with IE7 - same here. Can anyone tell me how to go back to IE6, which worked reasobably well?

What a piece of garbage. Big mistake to say yes to the upgrade. What a bad design. Talk about user unfriendly!! After install, IE7 crashed everytime I actually tried to use it. Downgraded to IE6 pronto, but am still primarily using Firefox.

After several hours of trying to connect to the Internet, even manually adding in DNS addresses I finally gave up and was ready to reinstall IE6 via a Microsoft Disk I ordered and received two years ago. After removing IE 7 using the remove software option under the Control Panel, IE 6 was totally restored by this action without a reinstall via a disk, and appears to be fully functional with no changes, as it was yesterday. I am running XP (with SP2)with all the latest update (off course without IE 7)

IE 7.0 looks good. However, it freezes (locks) up some of the time when I try to open up another site. The hour glass just continues to run, and I get a Not Responding messasge in the tool bar window. Trying to get an answer from MS is impossible. They apparently want to charge you to tell them that there is a problem. I have downloaded all the updates, and still the same problem. It does not happen all the time. It is an intermittent problem. Anyone have any suggestions or solutions? I need HELP!!!

Installed IE7 and my DSL connection went into the toilet. Have to regress to dial-up to continue internet life. What really burns me is that I called Microsoft for tech support and they wanted to charge me for a phone assist. I opted for help through the internet, instead. Since we are doing the beta testing for Microsoft IE7, we should sent Mr. Gates a hefty bill for our debugging services. Until then it's dial up. Slow and steady wins the race.

downloaded ie 7 it crashed it's junk

I have been using IE 7 for a couple of weeks but I do not see any of my Icons from
Web pages, just the E for Explorer? Can soneone help me with this.

Download new internet explorer via automatic downloads and everthing went hay wire. can't open page errors and I tried to do a system restore but it still doesn't work right. Barely able to get to this page. I want to be able to search the internet again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

how do I get this IE 7.0 out of my computer
it sucks

Hi Ellie. Maybe you've recently cleaned your hard drive? Every time I add a new site to my favourites, the appropriate icon appears in the list alongside it. But I run disk cleanup every week, and the icon disappears. I just assume it's on a temporary file somewhere that gets deleted.
Irritating, isn't it, but not the end of the world.
At least I've decided not to install IE 7 until the problems are sorted...

IE7 seems to be a resorce hog! I have DSL connection and was very pleased with the speed of my internet browsing until I downloaded IE7. It's not the download speed that's the problem, it's the browser using up too many resorces trying to do too much at one time? Until the kinks are gone, I don't want it.
I used System Restore to go back a day to get rid of the changes from IE7. Microsoft did something right with System Restore.

Add me to the list of people who tried IE7 for a few minutes, realized it was junk and removed it.

Microsoft still does not "get it", apparently...

I just downloaded the new IE 7.0 and am very pleased. It even kept all of my previous setting and interfaced the google toolbar in it with the same settings I had before as well. Very user-friendly, no problems as of yet.

Downloaded ie7 yesterday, still trying to get rid of it. 1. won't allow my mcafee to scan 2. error message every time I try to acess my software 3.my favorites wont connect 4. word doesnt work properly....good grief, wish I had looked here firswt! how do I delete this monster!

Yes Major issues with Explorer 7, do not download until they have the bugs fixed. Caused major problems with my computer, removed it and all is well again. We couldn't use the flash player or virtually any ad-ons from adobe, and alot of safe web pages would not completely download. We actually had some spyware show up too! Trust me, stay with 6 for now.

I upgraded to ie7 and what a piece of junk. When i click on an icon it seems like forever before any action to open webpage and then i have to wait and wait while it tells me it is "detecting proxy settings". I have many hanging applications, screen freezing and computer crashes since i got into this mess. I now want to go back to ie6. Any thing with a name of Yahoo and Microsoft combined is certainly guranteed to be a piece of junk.

IE 7 sucks. I've uninstalled it and will switch to Firefox. Do not let this piece of crap install on your computer.

IE7 intermittently locks up immediately after starting up the application. When this happens, I could only resume work by killing the "Not Responding" app in the Windows Task Manager and then starting IE7 again. Sometimes I had to repeat this 5-6 times for IE7 to run. Occasionally I would see 2 copies of the IE7 app started in the Task Manager even though I only started it once.

This is too much of a hassle and a lot of waste of time at this point. Unistalled the app by removing it in the Add/Remove Progs section and it automatically reverted back to IE6. All is well. I will wait until Microsoft fixes the IE7 bugs and then I may try again...

Installed IE7 twice. I like the new user interface but on each occasion I discovered that attached printers became unavailable (HP and Epson) because files could not be located. On the first occasion the Master File Table was corrupted (message : C:\$mft is corrupt), and CHKDSK ran on start up but did not restore file. The situation quickly deteriorated and then became system critical. On both occasions I was forced to run recovery console and chkdsk C: /R to restore system. On the second occasion there was no error message about MFT but the printer error was solved by running chkdsk from recovery console. I guess the MFT was corrupt. This software really stinks, it is no good putting out release notes when you are offering free updates through windows XP because it is too bloody late when it is installed.

Works on one of my computers, but crashes on the other when you try to close the browser.

After downloading the IE7, I can't open some links and even can't get pop up windows. I really don't think IE7 function as good as IE6. I'm expecting a better IE7.

I downloaded IE 7 after a prompt from automatic updates. After reboot I could not connect to the internet as there was no option to enter my password. Had to uninstall it and this worked ok but I now have to click on user pasword before Windows loads and I had to make other adjustments to my internet settings like sites no longer automatically remembered me. I say steer clear until these issues are sorted, sticking with IE 6 as long as it is supported.

ie 7 is pure bullshit

Ever since I downloaded IE 7, I've been having problems. Everytime I close out my tabs, IE crashes on me. I don't have the patience for this kind of silliness. I just recently downloaded FireFox 2.0, much happier now.

Downloaded IE 7.0 2 days ago. Could not access my wireless. Tried uninstalling. What a mess. (What's with the crappy toolbar that cannot be deleted?)

Had to spen $35 on the local compputer guy to come fix it before Thanksgiving break. It was money well spent. He says he's been doing the same thing all week.

I have warned friends and coworkers NOT to install 7.0. Now I am warning who ever reads this note. DON'T DO IT!!!!

IE 7, what a piece of crap. Spent 35$ (well spent) on local computer guy to fix my computer. Junk,junk, junk!!

I got IE7 by running Windows Update Manually (automatic updates seemed late this month). Installed OK, but had a conflict with my 4 year old Logitech mouse. Scrolling wheel caused erratic movement of screen. Had to download latest driver from Logitech. Now OK. I think IE7 is pretty good.

IE 7 automatically downloaded and installed without warning on my Home PC running XP Pro. My wife called me in a panic because of problems with the browser. Was able to uninstall through the Crtl Panel and go back to 6.0. Maybe Firefox is the answer. Turned off automatic updates to prevent this happening again. Typical Microsoft -- put out a product with bugs galore. Fortunately, I am still running Win 2000 Professional on my laptop and was not in line for the "gratis" upgrade from MS.

DON'T DOWNLOAD IE7!!! Make sure you choose the options in your next IE update!!!

WE NEED TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST BILL GATES & MICROSOFT!!!

I'm screwed because I didn't. I installed IE7, tried & hated it then deleted via the control panel, and turned off the computer for the night. When I signed on this morning to do some Christmas shopping I was unable to do anything. Even now I'm typing a few words and IE opens empty/blank Microsoft windows, and won't stay on the page. There are errors opening up all over the place. I've read that in some cases, those who use Google, that as IE 7 downloads it wipes out all of your personal IE6 info and there is no going back, so you're forced to use IE7. The problem is that I don't want to use this piece of shit IE7 browser!!!!!! Now I've lost out on the sales I rely on to do my Christmas shopping. I understand this is no problem for Bill "Fucking Greedy Ass Bastard Grinch" Gates, who must control the internet or else!!! But it's a huge problem for me, especially since this came installed as an update and I wasn't given an option here. Now here I sit, Thanksgiving Day, and instead of cooking & shopping in between, I'm trying to fix my computer. I'm sick of this, and once I get everything together I'm switching to another browser. Happy Fucking Holidays Bill "Fucking Greedy Ass Bastard Grinch" Gates, and thanks alot! I'm gone Gates and I hope I take alot of people who have fueled your fortune with me!!! Firefox, here I come!!

I automatically downloaded IE 7.0 onto my new clean laptop. Then when running the laptop without an internet connection in place, IE 7.0 continuously opens a new window trying to connect. It can get upwards of 50 new windows opening. Any idea how to fix this??

The internet explorer 7 is a piece of shit I'm intaled and have uninstaled again because have more problems than 6 is realy piece of crab don't install in your computers people I don't recommend.

IE7 causes computer problems. NON-RESPONDING ERRORS galore!!! Don't download IE7. What a mess! Automatic update/upgrade notice sent to me. Major problems when closing or shutting down - goes to a blank page and freezes my computer every single time. IE7 needs repair work!!! Stick with what you have until Microsoft fixes the mess they created! My laptop was working great but now browsing is a problem and shutting down is a problem.

I had no problems on my computer other than my toolbars getting mixed up. After getting that worked out I like the browser a lot.

Two of my customers have lost their internet after installing IE 7. I just remove it because no one seems to know why it's killing their internet connections.

I have problems scanning with Hp All in one. Other functions are fine. The Hp scanner said I had critical updates, so I loaded them. Still no help. If I uninstall IE 7 how do I get back IE 6?
Or will I mess things up further

This has to be the biggest heap of crap that MS has come up with - IE7 seems to be trying to tie users even closer into MS products - yet seem to forget that people liked IE6 because it was reasonbly user-friendly - IE7 is as useful as a chocolate teaspoon.

How anyone thinks this is user-friendly is beyond me - give me a menu and not this icon shit that takes ages to load - favourites is a joke.

Installed 7.0 last night. The look is O.K. but wasn't happy with the way the page(s) scrolled. Definitely DIDN'T scroll as smoothly as with previous versions. That alone was enough for me to revert back to 6.0. Everything else seemed to work without a hitch, but again - scrolling with the mouse wheel sucked. It was jumpy and extremely annoying at the end of... oh 30-40 seconds! To remove (for those not in the know), go to Start/Settings/ControlPanel/ Add Remove Programs... and find it just above the Windows XP Software Updates files. Highlight it and clic Change/Remove. Good luck.

Got IE7 up and somewhat running had to upgrade the flash player to get utube vidio to work still I can not get ie7 to display mpeg or quicktime vidio nasa soho website

I installed IE 7 and my computer will no longer connect to the internet. It simply comes up with the IE screen and says "connecting..." It is not a connectivity problem, as I can get through with Mozilla Firefox. When I try to pull up anything else after clicking to launch IE 7, the program screens all freeze in layers. I cannot even close it by using Control Alt Delete. Help! Can I get IE 6 back??

I installed IE 7 through automatic updates, it installed ok and functioned ok, but I constantly got the same corrupt file warning for c:\$mfft everyone else is complaining about. After several re-boots and running chkdsk, my system still gave the same error. Each time I rebooted my system went through the same checkdisk scan. Out of desperation I uninstalled ie 7 via control panel add/remove programs. No more problems. Think I'll hold off for now trying again.

This is a rubbish system. Downloaded IE7 today - it's unable to release incoming emails. Absolutely maddening. How do I get out of it?

Downloaded IE7 today - with some reluctance. It's a rubbish system. Refuses to release incoming emails. How do I get out of it? Avoid installing at all costs!

IE7 works fine, not a problem, so go figure, or should i say reconfigure

Downloaded and installed IE7 fine...Problem is, it sucks! I'm definitely going back to IE6.

funny , people said that ie6 sucks, so they are going back to ie5 or ie1,LOL, maybe if some comps wernt in such a mess, ie7 would run ok.

I installed IE7 on my laptop a month ago and have had no problems up until today. Sometimes when I try to quit, it refuses to go. I found by experiment that minimising and maximising and then quitting again does the trick. I received a message to send a crash report to MS which I did. Then it told me that there were updates which might solve the problem. I have received no automatic update notification and when I went to MS Update site, and clicked on the "Recommended" buton the little bars went round and round for 10 minutes without anything happening. Don't know if it was just very busy but it is all very frustrating. As you say, why dont they test the stuff before sending it out?

downloaded IE 7 after prompts. Absolute nightmare. Could'nt see anything on the web but jumbled code. and Times New Roman font. Advice prompts from Microsoft are 'Make sure your typing is correct' or, 'You may have no internet connection' or'try refresh button' My advice to them ' Make sure you test this crap before wasting everybodys time'
Go to Add and remove programs. Click uninstall IE 7 Restart computer and you should be back to IE6.

I also lost internet connection through my wireless after installing IE 7. I will attempt to uninstall it and go back to IE 6 or go with Firefox instead

I Down loaded IE7 yesterday and it has messed up my DSL connection. I thought there was something wrong with my phone line as the ADSL light just keeps flashing on the modem and the connection works, then drops, then works again. After reading this, I wish I had looked into this abit before installing IE7, I will do an add & remove on it's ass this weekend when I am home again.

WARNING; DO NOT UPGRADE TO INTERNET EXPLORER 7.0; IT IS IRREVERSIBLE ! I have spend two days now trying to get rid of 7.0 because Skype won't work with it and it freezes up several programs I use that it trys to preempt. It has a remove option in Add/remove programs but it doesn't get removed and screws up you entire system. I had to do an entire restore just to get back to 6.0 and now I'm thinking I better go to some other browser.

Any recommendations?

Thanx & Aloha, Johnny

I downloaded IE7 and my computer crashed. My Broadband connection disappeared along with my homepage. I spent a couple of hours trying to uninstall IE7 , but it still remained on my computer. In the end, I went to an earlier restore point on my Windows XP and that solved the problem. My nightmare is over. I am glad that I saw this review site. I thought it was just me that was having this problem. I am now back with IE6 and thats where I am staying until Microsoft sort this problem out.

I am glad that I found this website and see that the problems that I encountered happend to a lot of Xp users. I have spent two days tryIng to get IE 7.0 to work on my computer. I have installed and uninstalled it 4-5 times. Here are some of the problems that I occurred: would not start my DSL connection and if I started the connection manually and then opened the browser it would just spin and give a message of "Connecting" but nothing would happen. It would not let me use me weather.com desktop. I never did get to see the browser work. My advise is to stay away from this update. Microsoft has a lot more work that needs to be done to make this program usable. Thank God for Norton Go Back 4.0. I was able to reset my system to before I ever though of trying this failure of a program. I am back to using IE 6.0 and am very happy. USERS BE WARE BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE!!!

This is the poorest looking version of explorer, you can't move the tool bars where you want them & icons are all over the place. I don't have time to look for what I want. Uninstalling. Microsoft really needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.

I downloaded IE7 at work and have not had any problems with it. I kind of liked the way it looked and I was going to start using it at home but I think I am going to wait a little while after reading about some of problems people are having.

How can I delete I.E. 7.0? I tried but I couldnt find it on ADD OR REMOVE programs because I beileve its hidden will someone help please?

God I wished I never loaded the IE7.
I cant find my emails and my business is not completely messed up!
Thanks, another first microsoft. Do any of your engineers research things before you do this?
Where do I send the bill? Extremely angry customer
Thanks for nothing

Total time to install IE7 here (after clicking "Install Now" from Windows Update Custom with only this one update selected) was less than 5 minutes including the reboot. I have read every single post you guys have made here and tested most of them after the install and I can not repeat any of the errors you guys are reporting. It looks different and nothing is laid out like it was in 6.0, but like it overall after spending some time to get used to it. Some of you reported issues with the standard behaviors of 7.0, but I have found that in many cases you can change these behaviors in the Tools/Internet Options area. I am a third party software developer, and I'm leaving it installed.

I was prompted to install IE7 4days ago. Since then everytime I shutdown my computer a blue screen comes towards the end it automatically starts up again. Its really pissing me off. Is there a solution to this problem. If none then I would like to know how I can safely roll back to IE6. My suggestion to fellows being prompted by the update software, please don't touch upgrade button. It would solve so many nightmares for you.

I do not like EI 7 at all, I like lines to separate my searches, and now every time I type in web address it states it can not find and my computer is working right via other services and software, I have to refresh about 4 - 6 times before a webpage comes up. I make me feel I have dial-up service that I have T1. Stop giving out the EI 7!

IE 7 is utterly awful, every time i start it flashes up a big "YOUR COMPUTER IS AT RISK" screen, and every 20 seconds brings down a little bar saying "Click here to change your security settings!", when i go to MY OWN HOMEPAGE it tells me that the menu i have on it is "unsafe", i add the homepage to my 'safe pages' but when i try to add the hard drive location to the safe pages it wont let me, meaning i get an annoying popup when looking at MY OWN PAGE THAT I MADE offline!. Luckily i use WORD 97 (HAH! whatcha gonna do it about it?) to edit the page, so thats fine. I made an extremely pessimistic series of comics once about what the internet may become by 2014, but never in my darkest fantasies did i realise Microsoft would replace annoying advertising popups with thier OWN annoying popups! (and not properly block the advertising ones anyway into the bargain)

I downloaded it a few weeks ago and really like it. It has been flawless.I cannot however find a way to save off line web pages to my favorites. Do you know if it is possible?

I didn't notice any problems for awhile until I realized All my audio sounds like chipmunks singing. I tried the fix its on the Windows Media Player troubleshooting with no result. Are Real Player and Media Player fighting? How else could a seeming sound card problem suddenly jump up.

Didn't realize that when I upgraded to 7.0 that it would cause Norton's to have problems and completely change my home page. In addition it removed the padlock for my secure websites. I finally uninstalled 7.0 and now I no longer have the problems I was encountering. Need to test new releases completely before any new products are launched so they work correctly.

HAVE TO ADD MY TWO CENTS IN TOO

PLEASE do yourself a favor and DO NOT upgrade to IE7. My PC was doing beautifully (NO PROBLEMS WHAT-SO-EVER) for the past several years, and now after upgrading through Automatic Windows Updates that popped up on my desktop last night. I wished I would have not been such a stupid idiot and did that. As now my PC is a mess! I may have to do a complete Windows XP restore from scratch. And we all know how time consuming that will be, but who cares, right, when you have the money rolling into your pocket from the general public.

I uninstalled it through control panel like everyone else but am still having crashes and "Not Responding" messages although they are not as frequent, only time will tell in the next few days. It keeps knocking out my HP printer. And when I can't get the task manager to 'end
task(s)' that are not responding then it crashes or goes to the beautiful blue screen we've all grown to dread to see.

I don't know what the heck happened, but this thing acts like a virus would do. Where you can't even use your mouse to click on anything. Or it does this crazy drag effect across the screen when you try to move an open window.

I tell ya I will NEVER again trust an Automatic Windows Update again from Microsoft in regards to an IE update. Thanks a million Microsoft for ruining my trust in you guys. My heart goes out to those who are having their businesses ruined because of this nonsense. Sometimes time is money too, which I don't have much of wasting it trying to repair my PC.

So again, DON'T DO IT!!! Spare yourself from the grief if you value your time and business.

A sudden conflict on my wife's computer after loading IE 7.0; some e-mails come through in Outlook, but are blank, others come through OK. Some e-mails in AOL (same computer) don't come through at all; some have parts missing. AOL support insisted it was a Windows problem. Windows support had me remove IE 7.0; I not only did that, but I also did a system restore back a whole month. No solution. Contacted AOL support again; they insisted it must be a virus or spyware. Oh, just to be certain, I removed Norton and installed AVG freeware anti-virus, Windows Defender, and Spyware Doctor. Removed all spyware--still no solution. Same problem. I can get all the same e-mails on my own computer without any problems--they just don't come through on my wife's computer.

My husband downloaded the software two night's ago. I get on the PC this morning and I can't read any of my emails. I get Script Error's and it completely freezes. I think it is kind of funny that I am able to come here to help desk and read with no warnings and such. I truly believe that what ever the errors are that is causing so much trouble with the software was not thought through entirely before revealing to the public for downloading. In many cases such as this I don't think it was properly retested on all aspects. Microsoft needs to retest their software better. I am waiting for this to hit big on the News’s in the near future unless it has already. Funny how Giant Incorporation such as Microsoft messes up with no apologies to the consumer. Sheesh, I am one frustrated person among a thousand.

I downloaded IE 7 , a few days ago and everything on my computer slowed down and kept on freezing .
Since getting rid of IE 7 and going back to 6 everything's back to normal .
I certainly don't recommend the new browser ...and they call it an upgrade !

I join the dissatisfied IE7 downloaders. I also downloaded it at the prompt of MS updates. Fortunately for me I used only one of two computers on my DSL connection to try it out. 1)it took over an hour to load. I should have known then there was a problem, it's only a 30 MB program. 2) after rebooting could no longer connect to DSL 3) Lost control over Windows completely 4) Could not even shut down with Task Manager. Had to do a hard reboot but then could not access START. FINALLY was able to click on C:Drive ICON thankfully I had a shortcut on my desktop. I finally reached ADD/REMOVE and uninstalled from the computer but I suspect it is still haunting my computer b/c I still cannot access internet. Will try a system restore tomorrow and hope I can correct all problems. This whole ordeal has taken all evening and wore me out. Please take heed all who come here DO NOT LOAD THIS GARBAGE ON YOUR SYSTEM!!!

Installed IE7, had no problems installing it and browsing a few websites. But when I tried to test my web application, my drop down menus no longer work, it now freezes the browser if I select something from the drop down menu. The browser unfreezes if I open up a separate browser session, but it freezes again if I again select something from the drop down menu. Is anyone else having the same issues?

BAD points

it lasted 30 mins , total unconfigurable kept forgeting any changes i made top to setup.

could not turn of the tab bar

and looked awful

GOOD points

easy to remove and did not effect explorer 6

CONCULUSIONS

I would not use IE7 until i really have to.
is it still an alpha version it certainly behave like one

I downloaded IE7 because although I like many Firefox features (eg tabs), it isn't compatible with a particular tool I need for work. "Unfortunately" or should I say "predictably for a new Microsoft product" various "undocumented features" appeared such as Wndows Explorer refused to run and within 48 hours I have been forced into a system reload.

When will Microsoft learn that this sort of incompetence is what makes everybody loathe them ? I am supposed to be doing chargeable work today, but cannot because my computer is unusable due to another premature release of software from Microsoft. What incompetence ! Have they no pride in their work ? Next time, I'm buying an Apple Mac

Sounds like most everyone that has downloaded IE7 has experienced the same issues. It slowed my Dell XPS 410 down to almost a complete halt. I thought for a moment that I was back on a Tandy 1000. Anyway, I deinstalled IE7 and it defaulted back to IE6, life is good once again.

Well people, welcome to the world of software: never install new software too early. I'll wait a couple months till I read more about your stories and how to resolve the issues. Meanwhile Firefox is doing great for me!

IE7 is, from my pov, a disaster. I downloaded it, restarted my computer - and windows xp prof, which hadn't been a problem before at all, went into an endless loop of not starting. I couldn't do anyhing! two and a half hours later microsoft get windows working again, but i will never ever trust any of their updates. why don't they test them properly before they release them on an unsuspecting public....

Downloaded IE 7.0 with high expectations.....unfortunately it has created a mess with hang ups and freezing of certain programs. Their are other problems associated with this new version and I don't recommend it at all. As for Windows I am loosing faith in your products.....Do something to fix these issues, or you'll loose my buisness.

Sorry, but I can not blast IE 7.0 yet. I installed it on my laptop running Windows XP Pro and have not experienced any problems. I plan on putting it on my PC

I am glad that I found this website and see that the problems that I encountered happend to a lot of Xp users. Installed IE7 some months ago, then my windows xp installed some microsoft security updates on 11/25/06 which caused my IE7 to have problems accessing some websites such as www.gmail.com. I am uninstalling IE7 now.

IE 7.0 was downloaded on my computer (running XP with a DSL connection), but, fortunately (based on all the above complaints), the installation would never finish. The download does not SEEM to be causing any problems, but is there a way to eliminate it from my computer even though it hasn't been installed? Automatic Updates keeps prompting me to finsh the installation, which I have no intention of doing. Would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks, Joe

Hi i dowloaded IE 7 a couple of months ago to my laptop, it kept crashing so I took it out in a day or so. Now today I got again(second chance) , an I am going to try to keep it for 2 weeks or so. The computer has crashed once so far. I also noticed that the computer is taking a lot longer to dowload than before, any ideas to make it faster and to get rid of so many crashes?. I also got from google something called skype, that it kicks automatically after the computer stars, I tried getting rid of it (from the tab, not the whole thing)but nothing works, any ideas?

Guys DO NOT download IE7. AGAIN DO NOT download IE7. IF you do it by now, uninstall it.

I downloaded I IE7 how do I deinstall
IE7 ??it doesn't let me keep connect to the web or email..I HATE THIS PROGRAM why don't they fix these problems before giving to us to find them ...

I just updated from IE6 to IE7 and this has totally stuffed up my access to my Microsoft Outlook program - cannot access it... am told to reinstall the program!! The particular data file it is missing (driver: Data1) is available on my XP program CD but for some reason will not recognise this disk). So, I am going to offload IE7 and reinstall IE6. Most disappointed, and very poor on the creator's part that they have not quality checked IE7's interaction with other Microsoft programs!!

Help! how do I downgrade from IE7 to IE6? My version XP doesn't seem to allow a system restore - or I'm looking in the wrong place - can anyone advise??

Couldn't find IE7 in the Control Panel listing of programs (Add/Delete) so can't remove that way either.
Any thoughts please??

We downloaded and ran IE 7 for 30 days. Although we weren't too excited about the interface it did work just fine for our department. When we moved all our people over to it last week we've had nothing but huge issues. We did discover that logging in as local administrator makes IE7 work just fine, but after joining our domain the computer freezes (Ie7 sits there saying "connecting" and nothing else).

I had an update warning just about 15 minutes ago.. luckily I had checked the "ask me first" box in my computer properties.. so, it asked me if i wanted to install IE 7.. and I don´t know why, but I decided to look from Google (haven´t done that before!) what it says about IE - and found this site :)
Thank you, you just made my day much better!
Good luck to you all, hope you get your computers fixed.. and I continue browsing in Firefox.

I got the "update" message this morning to download and install IE 7. It sounded like it had good features and would be safe to install. Like some of the recent posts above, I couldn't connect to the internet. It just kept showing the "connecting" message. I would then end up in the task manager and that would lock up. In the end I went to the control panel and found IE7 in the add/remove list. It DID remove it and I was able to get back to the old IE6 which seems, so far, to be running as it did previously. I
