  • Internet Explorer 7

    A recent article in the Houston Chronicle by their computer columnist wrote about the new Internet Explorer 7 that is available now but will be part of a big update for Windows in the near future.

    He suggested downloading now so that the update will be more efficient. I did as he suggested.

    I really like it a lot! It has a new clean look as well as the ability to open several web pages at the same time, just like the Apple Internet software, I think it's call Safari.

    The only thing I miss is a button to "Read Emails". I haven't figured out how to add that button yet.

    If you are a Windows user, I think you will like this.

    I think I downloaded it on my other computer. I can't say much about it tho as I haven't used it much if at all-as firefox is my browser of choice.

      What are your thoughts regarding Windows Vista Southern Edition RC2?

          Did you also notice that Windows Media Center automatically defaults to either CMT or The Speed Channel?

            Yes, and your point is? [Actually, I neither care for country western music or NASCAR, so I may be geographically mis-located ]

              I went to download IE 7 and got this message below.

              The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page.

              Maybe they pulled it because of Problems.

                Make sure that you don't have any antivirus or spam protector on when you download it. I went here to download it:

                  Mike it works with your link. I am downloading it right now. Funny I got it from the same site but it was not there on the link that I picked.

                      Frank,

                      If you right click on the toolbar where the website tabs are, you can customize the buttons. I added the "Read Mail" button to my toolbar.

                      So far, I like it.

                        My son took a look at it and said it is very much like firefox. He said if you hit control T you can open a new tab. One thing I did notice. My I Spell does not work from the site reply now. I can still check my spelling from the IE abc tab.

                          A couple of websites that do not work.

                          I have had 7 for a few months. I have found a few sites that do not display properly. Resortime.com and Worldmark owners forum. I had to install firefox to view those sites. I must be something about how they are written.

                              Mine does to, But the ABC check when you reply is not working. The one I am talking about is the Sites Spell check. Hit repy and look on the right side just above the smileys for abc check.
