At least for some (including me), IE 7 has not worked. See
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general.

This program clearly has more than its fair share of problems.

The newsgroup has not been helpful in dealing with issues.

The microsoft phone help number is so busy that they ask you to call back
later.

Most (but not all) have been able to uninstall it (through the control
panel) and return to IE 6.

While it may well work for you without any difficulty, be aware that this
upgrade clearly needs a great deal more work and waiting may be the best
course.

Nowadays it seems prudent to wait and see on anything new from Microsoft.

Waiting may be tricky for a lot of folks. Last I heard, MS was going to
"push" it out via automatic updates as a critical update.

Not for me. I've been using it since the first public beta release and
can't be happier.

I dumped Firefox as soon as I installed it. Firefox had huge
memory-leak issues on my machine and usually wound up using about 160K
of my 256K of RAM after only a couple of days... which then froze my
machine.

Probably wouldn't happen on my new one with a gig of RAM, but I've no
reason to turn back.

AMEN!!

I downloaded, installed, etc. BUT I've lost my ability to scroll using
either the ms mouse scroll wheel or pageup/down. I also seem to have frozen
my desktop icons -- I can't move them around on the desktop......

Any ideas.

BTW, go to the control panel to remove IE7. Then use the original disk/CD
amd the control panel to reinstall IE6.

THEY BLEW IT!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!!

I just read Sandi's notes. There is, in my opinion, no
excuse...repeat....no excuse...to have to go thru all of this just to
install an IE upgrade. Come on, Microsoft. Get it fixed!!
