IE7 and Vista

[virgovictoria]

If you are talking about window size, resizing and other goofy stuff like this, yes, there is a fix for it... we have been waiting for MS to release one, but found this. Save the contents of what is in the quote in a .reg file, right click it and select "merge" - or just double-click it and it will toss in in the registry... reboot and you should be fine.



Also, IE7 and VISTA can only download a MAX of 2 items, or 4 in HTTP 1.0 - here is the registry fix for this (do the same as above);



If you want to add IE7 icon to the desktop;

Thanks!!!

This sounds really helpful, but I could not find a link to download the registry editor. Do you have one or am I asking a stupid question?

Are you talking about IE7 and the associated errors?

I am a little foggy today (bit of a cold).

Also, I have two different machines. A Dell desktop w/XP and IE7 and now have a lot of new "Electronic Software Delivery and Management" files (software products) downloading from the site. I'm having installation issues, but I think I have to call India for help.

And I have a laptop (Dell) with VISTA and IE7 (thinking about going with google Chrome) and having the issues mentioned in previous post. I also hate that it displays safe IP addresses to use every fricken 10 minutes but, as we all know, VISTA (don't know why I always capitalize it) takes time to figure out.

I've figured out hiccups on XP online that I've yet to encounter in vista and Kyle is useful to have around as well

But, if I weren't so lengthy, I'd say, "Refresh me on the disable the updates, please"

And

Just copy the entire contents of what is in the quotes, including the 'Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00' and save it as;

filename.reg <- filename can be whatever you want of course.

There is no need to download the registry editor...

I am sorry, it was Radiant1 having the update problems. Guess I am the one in the fog today.
