has anyone experinced any trouble gettong IE7 working properly?

Question

downloaded it but can't get it to open any pages

Answer 1

Now you know what they mean, when they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Try to uninstall IE7 and get back to 6. Here are the instructions. I hope that they work for you.

Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 and restore Internet Explorer 6 when using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. You might have to CHECK the box that says SHOW UPDATES
4. Scroll down to Windows Internet Explorer 7, click it, and then click Change/Remove.

If you cannot find Internet Explorer 7 in Add or Remove Programs, click Start, click Run, type
%windir%\ ie7beta3\ spuninst\ spuninst.exe.
(I added spaces after the \ so it would show here)
and then press ENTER.

For more information, check this page at the Microsoft website. http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/releasenotes/

If you have further trouble, you might try the RESTORE thing in the System Tools folder and go back a few days before you made this terrible mistake.

Good luck

Answer 2

Initial download and page access went off without any real hitches. I also found it somewhat easier to operate some features. But the images are fuzzy. In other words, your not alone. IE7 has issues. Try pulling it out and reloading it again. If that fails, you'll have to go back to IE6, Firefox (really good), or some other system.

★★ MICROSOFT PRODUCT DISCUSSION GROUPS ★★

◙ Here are hundreds of Discussion Groups for Microsoft products such as Internet Explorer, Outlook, Outlook Express and the list goes on and on. There is even a discussion group for the new Internet Explorer 7 beta.

◙ You'll need to signup for an MSN Passport Account to use these groups. But it's really worth your time. You'll receive better help here than anywhere. But if you didn't pay for the product it might be smart not to mention it here. If you want help that is.
