I am running IE7 on my laptop and I cannot get into www.facebook.com

It says I am using an incompatible browser and suugests I use Firefox or
Opera. I don't want to use a different browser! My desktop PC uses IE7 and
facebook opens fine. I need facebook on my laptop. Any suggestions?

Have you opened the site with other IE versions, before IE7.

Be more specific. Does just opening this URL cause your symptom?

http://www.facebook.com/

Or are you getting that far and then trying to do something (such as use
the Login button?)

I am having the same problem. I started creating an account in Facebook,
then bam, I got kicked out. Now no matter, what, just by going to
www.facebook.com I get an error stating:
"You are using an incompatible web browser.
Sorry, we're not cool enough to support your browser. Please keep it real
with one of the following browsers:

*Firefox
*Opera"
I contacted Facebook's tech support and they said that yes they support IE
7.0 and to delete the cookies and Temporary internet files then restart,
which I did, but still I cannot get in.

Sounds like your User-Agent is corrupt.
Try visiting this site to check your User-Agent
and how it might be being interpreted.

http://www.fiddlertool.com/useragent.aspx

Hmm... the focus of that page has changed. The diagnostic aspect
is now at the bottom. Do a Ctrl-f find for User-Agent to find it.
