I do not understand your statements:

"That was an update that is related to
IE7, but not the setup program for IE7 (that is a different window and
has a Restart button as well after it's done). When you clicked Restart
Now and then proceeded to kill tasks, you effectively killed the IE7
setup program."

Mark told you this:

"I was asked to restart my computer and
naturally I couldn't ignor that request, becuase it kept coming back and
bugging me. So I said yes, and nothing happened."

The uninstall routine from the beta had completed and asked him to restart.
His computer did not/could not do so, so he was forced to try and make it do
so manually. I'm a computer professional and would have done the same.
Apparantly a reboot was needed, so what would you have done? Also, any open
tasks that are running will get killed anyway when the system is rebooted
either through a routine, or manually like Mark did. It is setup in the boot
routine to begin again upon the reload of Windows. Your statement that Mark
did someting wrong here does not ring true.

Now, he is/was confused about what took place here as I.E. 6 was back on his
computer the way it was supposed to be at the time. At the very least, had
Mark done something funky to the I.E. 7 setup routine, Auto Update would have
seen that I.E. 7 was not installed and been ready to be installed again.
Something did not complete here for Mark at no fault of his own. He was asked
to reboot, so he did.


Folks, there are people having trouble with I.E. 7 pre, and/or post install.
I have had no major issues either way, but I did not use Auto Update either.
There are most certainly bugs in I.E. 7 that need to be worked out, major or
not, and like it or not. Now, I am a BIG Microsft fan, but some of you are
ignoring the facts and being down-right rude to Mark. The comments made by
Pegasus were especially rude and uncalled for. Sometimes comments about a
product can, and should give you a clue to check it out. There does not have
to be a question when you can clearly see that something is wrong.

We are all the life behind Microsoft. Without our money to buy the things
that are not free, none of you employees would have jobs. I.E. 7 is free, but
it is not perfect. We are here to report the problems that some are having
with it. If you don't like it I can let Microsft know that you don't
appreciate its customers.
