I install it, but when I go to log-in there are no fields for my login name or password and I receive an error 691 message. I am not logging in wrong, there is just no-where to log in - anyone else having problems?

I don't quite understand your problem from the information you provide.
Internet Explorer 7 itself does not require log in or passwords. Your operating system may require you to log in when you start your computer, or your Internet Service Provider will likely require a password and log in when you attempt to access the Internet.
I have installed each Beta version of IE7 as they became available, Release Candidate 1, and the final version on general release. I have never had any problems such as what you describe.
Are you set up as administrator for your machine? Have you checked your policies and your Internet Explorer options? Did you install IE7 over a previous version of IE7 - ie a Beta version - as depending on which earlier version you had, there was a different process for installing the latest upgrade. There are quite a few points you need to explore before you merely blame IE7 for the problem.
My IE7 works flawlessly except for accessing certain Internet sites that do not support it. For that reason I have also downloaded the Mozilla Firefox browser for accessing those sites. The two browsers run side by side with no conflicts. I hope this all gives you food for thought, and advise you contact a Microsoft professional for advice. You obviously are able to access the Internet as you are posting your question.

I for one have not had any problems with IE7, it loads up just like IE6 did, very smoothly, and great to use, with the added security incorporated in the new software,
all I can say is that download IE7 direct from Microsoft and not from any where else.
also make sure that there is no other program running at the same time as the download to insure a better installation.
I never had IE6 on this computer I use, for I done a partial recovery and so everything got deleted, and when I re-started the computer it downloaded Microsoft updates with IE7 included. maybe this is the answer, delete IE6 but leave any updates, then install IE7 from fresh so you don't get a conflict between old and new.

Yes I downloaded and installed twice but the same problem. It was as if it had only installed half the programme and it caused my PC to slow to an almost stop. Could not use PC so for the second time I deinstalled it and have not bothered with it since. I do have a free phone number to call about it and it is 0800 91 73 128. Best of luck and a Happy New Year.

OMGoodness, yes, it crashed my computer last week. I took it into my computer guy and he had to reload XP and the rest of my stuff. Frustrating. It froze my screen so I could only do a manual shut down. Then it would not start up. Kept looping me around at the start up menu.
He said everything should work fine now but I am afraid to install this time. I keep ignoring the message that I have udates ready for installation.

There has been tons of problems with it, I personally have uninstalled it, I got lots of error messages, my Norton anti spam would not run with it,the computer just shut down on its own, I just got fed up, It seems to conflict with everything that I had installed, if you want to remove it, go to "settings" / add and remove programmes / then tick the little box at the top that says show latest updates, then find I.E.7 and remove / dis-install, restart your computer and you will be back in I.E6.
Good Luck

might you pick to appreciate what the difficulty with IE8 is? it truly is IE6. Years and years after being released, it nevertheless has 20% of the marketplace. Firefox in simple terms beats it by utilising somewhat, and easily once you contain all variations of firefox (by contrast one version of IE). the difficulty with that's IE6 grow to be just about the least standards compliant browser accessible. total web pages have been badly coded so as that they might seem acceptable on IE6. Years later, those comparable web pages are inflicting hassle on IE8, provided that with IE8 IE is ultimately standards compliant. Do all cyber web builders a favour, and improve to IE8. It has a one click compatibility mode for those non-standards compliant web pages incase you come back for the duration of one that looks strange, so which you haven't any longer something to lose.

I downloaded it and promptly got the Blue Screen of Death. Fortunately I had everything I need backed up but it was 1) extremely bloody frustrating and 2) a total waste of time reloading XP and then all of my software on top of it. I've heard nothing but bad things about IE7 and won't be touching it again with a bargepole. Two, even.

As you do not log onto Internet Explorer we need to know what the web site is you are trying to log onto.

You only need to do a search on here to see how many people are having problems with IE7. The best thing to do is download Mozilla Firefox available from http://www.mozilla.com/ Its faster, more user friendly, easily customisable to suit your needs and no problems.
