Title: N/P: New Internet Explorer
Post by: Nem on May 01, 2006, 11:29:50 PM
The new Internet Explorer has arrived, and I'm pretty impressed (even though I use FireFox). :D

So, all you I.E users you should download it A.S.A.P!

You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx

please note it is only a beta test so therefore likely to be less stable than most mircosoft products

I installed it, but as usual when it comes to computers, I had a     :blonde:

It just kept freezing up and I couldn't get any internet .   I had to go into control panel and de-install it.  Computers are sorcery and witchcraft to me  :D

This summer, I will be mostly living in the dark ages

wish people would stop telling people to install this install that without letting them no the pitfalls

not everyone is a PC whizz kid and not everyone understands what a beta version of a piece of software is

The Windows installed on your computer must be genuine or it will not work.

I'm not a computer whizz kid, and you dont need to be to install this software!

the fact that its a beta test of a mircosoft product means its likely not to work

most mircosoft products that go gold still have major bugs in them

Beta testing is FAR down the testing route, it doesn't get to this stage if it "doesn't work", it comes with full support and a diagnostic tool.
Microsoft isn't exactly a fly by night company now is it?

I am genuine. It asked me, I have proof. Do I need to send it to them?

   It came up with a purple icon on the desktop, then when I clicked on Internet Explorer it beeped. Nothing happened.  When I clicked on the Blonde Forum icon on my desktop. It said cannot access this site.

This is BETA testing 2.

However, I was using Windows Defender BETA testing 2 and I still had problems.

no they arent but they hardly ever bring out a stable product as a gold there beta products arent that great i avoid at all cost

this is why because someone with a limited knowledge installs it and needs to get someone to help them out


sark best thing i can sugest is to try and use the restore point
