IE7 is a disaster. I made the mistake of installing it - and I'm
amazed at how many things suddenly don't work. I've spent at least
three weeks trying to put my computer back together. And I tried
calling customer support as listed above - only to find myself
transferred to the Phillipines to a woman whose accent was so thick I
had to hang up. I was able to uninstall - but issues linger. I'll be
smart enough to steer clear of MS updates in the future - at least
until they've actually been debugged (by an unsuspecting public, as is
their usual custom). (And for what it's worth as I type this, I am
receiving an error report from Outlook, which now sends my mail out,
apparently, only when it feels like it.) DO NOT GO NEAR IE7.
