I run IE7 and have had no problems. I like it ability to open multiple tabs. You can have Many windows open under one IE window and just click the tabs to go between. The Favorite list allows you to open your choice in the existing tab or by clicking on the right-hand arrow you open a new tab.
Cheers,

That looks like they copied Firefox with the tabs. Firefox has tabs for a long time. Tabs are good. Firefox you can hold the control key when you click on a link and it opens in a new tab. Hold shift key and it opens in new window. IE is probably like that too. Also can right click to choose tab or window.

I installed IE7 on my home system which is used for all kinds of things including video editing. Unfortunately it broke things so badly with my video editor that I had to reload the system. Unfortunately I didn't associate the problem with having installed IE7. During the reload I put IE7 back on and discovered I still had problems. I talked with a friend who works in IT at a huge insurance company and he told me there are lots of issues. I removed IE7 and was barely able to finish the video editing I was doing for Christmas gifts. The system is still unstable, so next week I get to reload the system again. I have good backups of the data, but it is a real ordeal to reload this system. This is what I get for breaking my own rules about installing Microsoft application upgrades before letting the rest of the world find all the bugs.

Merry Christmas

I have noticed it takes a lot longer to open web pages on the new IE7. I tried it at home, job 1(high speed cable) and job2(DSL) but all seem to take forever to open a web page. I miss IE6.

I have developed a Java(TM) Plug-in Fatal Error
Several Java Virtual Machines running in the same process caused an error.
This is associated with the Games.Yahoo.com link.
It prevents me from playing the games. Thank goodness I have Firefox.
Cheers,

John, I am having the same java error on the laptop but haven't so far on the desktop. Like you, this occured on the aol game site. Hope they come out with a fix - don't want to have to think about reloading IE6 on laptop.
Thought I would edited this instead of another post. I encountered problems with java error this morning on my desktop so I went in and uninstalled on the add/remove programs then went to java.com and downloaded and installed java. It worked so have done the same to laptop and tested it - so far so good. Hope this helps you.
I also think IE7 works better on the new computer as it has the speed to handle it compared to my out of date desktop.
Safe travels.
Lorraine

Well it appears the uninstall and reinstall has not held - it worked for a while today but tonight went to play a game and got the java run fatal error. I have looked for fixes for IE7 but nothing at the moment has popped up. Anyone having any luck or is the only option to reload IE6? Other than the java problem haven't encountered anything else.

Lorrain, I just un-installed IE7 from 2 computers, and they just went back to IE6 automatic.
I downloaded IE7 Saturday , and it seemed to working okay, but took it off after reading all these posts. I also like 6 better than 7.

For the past month or so I have been getting these little boxes poping up saying IE didnt recognize something and I would have to shut this program down. I down loaded 7 awhile back and didnt like the new page so I went back to 6. Then when these little boxes started poping up I called a computer geke friend of mine and he said you better get used to the new page because many of the programs will not work properly with 6. I down loaded 7 last week and I am getting used to the new page and it has worked fine, no more little boxes poping up.

Tonight worked on the java problem - I don't know if it will stay fixed but was able to go to aol games and have it load without the java not wanting to run. One thing I did (don't know that it made a difference but will do the same on the new computer tomorrow) in the Control Panel, Internet Options, advanced tab - I put a ck in the java logging enabled. I got too use to 6 page but guess we will get use to 7 - with the new computer we have a new upgrade coming called Vista but have heard there is problems with it - I don't know when it is scheduled out.
Lonnie your photo's aren't showing up - maybe you are aware.
Safe travels.
