This is absurd
Many people have explained in thread where you went wrong. Download and
install IE7 again. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca Mark A. Sam wrote: Kerry, There was no Beta warning when I installed V.7. I wouldn't have installed it. If the page wasn't the same page as I posted, then it was similar. It was on the Microsoft homepage. But regardless, what do I know? And why does it matter that it is a beta. The update said it was a V7 update and it installed v6. It's a little backward. I wasn't told it would do this, but the initial message said it was an v7 update, like a simple update. "Kerry Brown" *a*m wrote in message ... The page where you downloaded your previous version of IE7 was a different page. A month ago there were clear warnings about installing a beta product. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca Mark A.

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. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

I am seriously not interested in anyone's Internet Explorer problems, so
I fail to see your reason for crossposting this to the Outlook newsgroup Mark A.

The world is in heap big trouble with Microsoft at the helm of the software industry. A little while ago, I got a notice that an update was ready. I didn't know why I received it, becuase my system was set to receive Automatic updates, and the caption on the notification said "Automatic Update".

This is absurd - Patrick Schmid
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. |

The world is in heap big trouble with Microsoft at the helm of the software industry. is that why you are using MS yourself.... and for how long are you using Microsoft products ... if I may ask ? A little while ago, I got a notice that an update was ready.

First what is automatic about an update that asks me? Please see : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525 Someone out to knock Bill Gates on the head and ask, "Is anyone in there?". Really?, first read up on the particular function feature before you give out (please) But that isn't the problem, just a prelude. I'm really the idiote for saying yes to the update. It was an Internet Exporer v7 update, or so it said. I said yes, then it asked me if I accept the license, and of course I did. without reading it ? just click on "OK" on all boxes ever presented to you ? -- good going ! really ! The next thing I saw was that Internet Explorer V7 was being installed ( I had it installed over a month ago). 1 month ago V7 was beta, so you did not install V7, you installed V7-beta Then it said it was uninstalling a previous version and I thought, Uh Oh!!!!!! And rightfully so. 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. So I tried to restart and it wouldn't. Finally after a several attempts I opened the task manager and dumped a bunch of programs then was able to restart. next time posting you might want to give us some details on "a bunch of programs" ? just so genuine people on these newgroups might try to actually help you..... After I restated, I opened up IE and went to open a new tab and there weren't any. HUH, I asked myself? No tabs? I like tabs, what happened? This is what happened, the update uninstalled version 7 and installed version 6. OK, that is the closest we come in this post to a problem statement, or at least an attempt to.

This is absurd - Patrick Schmid
When someone starts a post with 'I know some of you worship Bill Gates as your God' and cross-posts to five newsgroups, three of which have absolutely no relation to the problem at hand at all, they diminish their chances of getting helpful responses. Under the circumstances I think most of those who responded showed patience and tolerance. Personally, I would not give the time of day to anyone ill-mannered enough to speculate about who or what I might 'worship'. -- Brendan Reynolds Access MVP "Biggerbyte" wrote in message ...

There was nothing wrong with IE7. That isn't the issue. The issue is the
update. It misrepresented what would happen. It stated that it was an "update" for Internet Explorer 7, not a replacement. "Leythos" wrote in message .. . In article , says... Here is the download page. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...px?mg_ID=10010 I don't see the word Beta anywhere Ok, so it's not beta any more, but it was when you downloaded it the first time, so the reply I made stands. Also, you should know enough to NOT install new software until it's been on the street for 6 months, unless it meets a mission critical need. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

Mark,
I know you've been posting in these groups for years. By now you certainly know not to post across and to newsgroups that bear no relation to the topic. I only see one newsgroup that bears any semblance to your subject. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP Free MS-Access downloads: http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Mark A.
