The question here is whether or not you can install the release version of
IE7 over a beta of IE7. I suspect that you cannot, and hence some of your
problems. From your original post, Mark I get the general feeling that you
did not bother to read the dialog boxes that popped up telling you to exit
any running programs before installing IE7. Lots of things I'll install
without doing that, but a new version of IE I consistently install with as
pristine a runtime as I can.

I down loaded and installed IE7 x64 over an existing IE6 install and thus
far (he says knocking on wood) I have had zero problems; if anything it is a
huge improvement over IE6 x64. Were I you, I'd un-install any instance of
IE7, get IE 6 happy and then upgrade to IE 7 again ... or just keep IE 6.

What's a beta? I wasn't informed that version 7 is a beta. I was
available on the Microsoft site as the new version. No beta involved.

I think Microsoft need some updating of personnel, starting with Bill
Gates
and continuing until the last programmer is booted. Keep the cleaning
crew
and the cafeteria staff.

let's get this in perspective:

1) You installed a BETA product
2) You complain when you are using your computer and it alerts you that
it's about to install updates while you are using your computer
3) The update is for a BETA product
4) Your BETA test machine doesn't perform properly

What part of BETA don't you understand - if you are not prepared to deal
with problems then don't run BETA software.

If you are prepared to deal with problems associated with BETA software
you should have posts your statements as "I've tried to install IE7 BETA
update and I'm having problems".

Your first paragraph makes you appear to be trolling.
