Rowain Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 only ever use IE7 for Windows Update anyways. (and in Vista you won't even need to) You don't need to in XP either...

mtnsteve Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just tried it. Everything worked pretty well, except....I lost my email connection. It said I wasn't connected to the Internet. IE 7 and Maxthon worked well though. I uninstalled it and still couldn't connect with my email. I still had a "help" link in my toolbar. I used system restore (I set my own restore point) and now everything is fine. The "help" link is now gone too. Just that little matter of my email :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489470-microsoft-internet-explorer-7-rc1/page/3/#findComment-587816321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Khan Reviews Posted August 24, 2006 Reviews Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just a word of warning to Logitech SetPoint users out there, uninstalling IE7 BETA will wipe your setpoint settings, I do not now why or how but this has happened when I updated to BETA3 and now RC1 as well! it is very strange! - I have alot of custom menus on my logitech keyboard set and also custom buttons on my MX1000 so was quite annoyed but luckily from the last time it happened I saved screenshots of each custom menu so I knew what to put back to what button :) Also it looks like this RC1 release fixes the disk cleanup entry :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489470-microsoft-internet-explorer-7-rc1/page/3/#findComment-587816404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randolph Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ok after using this I switched back to FireFox 1.5.

Quillz Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Installed 7, Norton antivirus stopped working. Any one else with this problem?Uninstalled 7 and all was well again. I know with McAfee, my anti-virus service didn't work at all until Beta 3 when McAfee issued a compatibility update. Maybe Norton will do the same thing.

daniel_rh Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 The only thing I don't like of IE7 since the first release and is still present in RC1 is the EXPIRED LOADING TIME, when a webpage have maaany images (300, 400 or more images), after more or less 30sec the loading cancels and I need to reload the webpage to continue the downloading the rest of the images :angry: Installed 7, Norton antivirus stopped working.

1Frothy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 RC1 is pretty good. It's going to take me some time to convince myself that its better than Firefox.

shift4 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 It seems Tabs get disabled if you try installing from "update.exe", and tabs cant be enabled Run the other self extracting exe's in the folder after update.exe. The xml one adds tabs and then another is required for explorer to even run (missing dll without).

Quillz Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 RC1 is pretty good. It's going to take me some time to convince myself that its better than Firefox. I still don't think IE7 is quite as good as Firefox 2.0. The latter just seems easier to customize.

xxdesmus Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just for anyone who runs into the problem that I did... I ran into a "normaliz.dll cannot be found, explorer.exe cannot start" after I uninstalled beta 3, rebooted, and then installed RC1. The way to fix this: 1. control+alt+delete ...the task manager will load. 2. go to File --> New task --> Browse. Browse to where the IE7 RC1 installer is. 3. Assuming you have WinRAR (or something able to unzip installers) unzip the contents of the IE7 installer. 4. Inside you will find the "normaliz.dll" in question. Right Click --> Copy. 5. Go to your Windows\system32 directory --> paste. 6. Then hit cancel a bunch of times to get back to the task manager 7. go to File --> New task 8. type "explorer.exe" (without the quotes) and hit OK...explorer should now load. I hope this helps. p.s. Important note: When I unRAR'd the installer for RC1 I did not find the normaliz.dll file inside ...I had to go find my installer from Beta 3 to get the file, strange, but it worked.

Jeremy1 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Those tricky bastards! I had filed a bug report back when IE7 beta 1 first came out saying that Favorites and Links would lose their favicons after a short period of time. They closed it, saying that it was By Design and would not be fixed. Well what do you know, IE7 RC1 saves the favicons for Favorites and Links!

NinjaGinger Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Very funny about Norton, I know I should know better than admit I use it, but Zonealarm was such a dissapointment, especially there Customer couldn't care less we have the money now, so Screw you attitude, I went back to Norton. I tried something else honest, but at least it works. Just put my asbestos suite on so Im ready.

Elliot B. Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 A word of WARNING to those that will replace a certain dll to install it on an illegal version of Windows: Do NOT do that. It knackers your explorer.exe and Windows will stop starting. I guess I can post this here? I don't Neowin does endorse piracy etc., but can we help those who may travel to the dark side?
