finish download and try now....
u must have original win xp

Thanks for the info... install takes very long... I had installed... later gonna install @ notebook... so far... i can't see any difference from RC1 besides Yahoo Mail!

Care to give some reviews or ur own opinion? some screenshot will cheers thing up.. thanks in advance..

It's basically the same as the previous release candidates but the improvements is more to bug fixes and performance issues.

I think it's out in Microsoft website as well

This is an announcement thread
Head over here for further discussion

Performance wise it is sluggish compared to firefox, maybe it is the settings that needs to be changed.

Not really user friendly, maybe im not used to it, but where the heck is the STOP button, i can't seem to find it, or ESC key is the trend now?

you still use stop button one meh? ESC key so convenient mah...hehehehe

the stop button is at the end of the address bar. hard to find, but easy to use once you get used to it.
Layout is good, and it's actually faster than Firefox for me. It would have been my default browser if not for Opera's mouse gesture. A good backup browser IMHO. I can now finally uninstall FF

how do move address bar to second line , same with old ie6 ?

On the contrary, its so much faster than previous build, or my connection is suddenly just too good?. I'll know soon enough in due time.

do i need to update my IE? i alwiz love opera but the default internet browser in my PC is still IE bcoz opera cant open yahoo mail directly from yahoo messenger

i am not saying page loading, but it is more resource hog than firefox, selecting multi tabs and it will pause for like 1 sec or slightly less.

I don't have that problem..

I used it and so far..its much much better than IE6.
IE7 now loads faster, loads with less errors, easy tab function and quick tab feature. The only thing i didnt like was the Cleartype(tm) which can be turned off. Well..of course its more resource hungry than IE6 because it now looks better and has more features but honestly i dont feel any slow downs with my system. Still loads as fast as before.

also the less security holes that IE6

my window xp sp2 is not validated ... any idea to use IE7 ??

not a place to ask about your pirated OS

Anyone have problem changing the default homepage....?

I don't seem to be able to move on to others and stuck with the default MSN.com.

notice your top right,
go to

Tools > Internet Options > Use Blank

You have to be connected to the Internet and set the settings on the first page it loads when you finish installed IE7 first. When you're done, follow ahtiven's step and you're done.

Nope that is not the solution... Problem is currenlty discuss at Microsoft Public Discussion...

Problem still exist..

i dont have that problem...
when i open my ie7, its always blank page which i set as default homepge

Manage to make the changes... Gotta do it at Safe Mode.

Strange thing. I don't seem to have any problem at all. Even change the homepage to http://www.yahoo.com/ for example works fine.

just updated last night only...and it really nice and i feel is faster than IE 6...

IE7 is the way to go
its much much better than IE6 imo

Defaulting the layout? My default layout looks like this

me same as yours

IE7 allot of bugs esp for those in transition frm beta to the final version.. the common prob would be the Normaliz.dll missing file. friend had it. had to do some file transferring and all cause it disrupts yr explorer.exe.. allot of people faced this prob too haha. use FF luved it haha

How large is the installation file?

I downloaded the automated setup file and after installed ... Add/Remove Programs showed a file size of 5.X MB.

around 15MB

Does this mean that my installation isn't complete?

the offline installer is 15MB

when installed, Add/Remove shows 3.51MB on my pc.

It asked me to install some program called "Malicious Code Removal Program" and asked to reboot my system after.

Not sure if the installation is completed successfully or not but new icon and interface have been appeared.

Many ppl saying IE7 Final is very unstable compared to the Release Candidates. IE7 crashes a lot!

Still works fine ... no crash for the mean time. Loading some preferences (options) is a little slow as compared to IE6.

really meh? i've been using it for almost 3 weeks and it never crashed once..

so far no crash or wat so ever. just abit not familiar with the new tool panel location.

i heard from my friend tat sum on9 games gt crashed after havin IE7...after uninstallin the game runs!...

just updated my window
and install IE7
testing it , so far so good

My experience using this IE already past 3 weeks, and so far yet no problem, I can see it eats lots of memory with enable tabs features while disabling the tabs features decrease alot memory usage and help you prevent such problem with hangs and goes un-known problems while using enable tabs features if sites bring more Add-Ons usage...

how much the memory usage?? lets say 3tabs?

On first 3tabs, 21,000-31,000K. Just alike firefox, if you bring more long term usage n' cache, then the (mem usage/pid) will sure vary, not same every time...

I using now for the sp2 but why when browser certain web it look like freeze?

It's not that stable ... hanged several times already.

Do you use ori Win XP or pirated

Of course original which comes with my company laptop.

my firefox hang always while IE 7 not yet suffer from this kind of problem

I have reinstalled my IE7. Under observation status now. Hope it won't hang ...

How about IE7?????quite nice??? havent use it -.-,i am so outdated......busying of using firefox this fewdays
