Internet Explorer 7 Issues

[vindictive666 (John)]

hi all

i have this issue with the latest ie 7 explorer


what happens is this

copying and pasting in ie 7 address bar an url Http ect ect
wont work
what it does is defaults back to my preset homepage and opens my firefox browser to the pasted url in ie 7 however cool it might seem its not the desired effect

ive checked all my security And other settings in ie 7 all seems ok

never shoulda upgraded from ie 6

(looks like a new install of ie 7 to me )

does anyone have any ideas LOL

Use firefox

Strange indeed.
Tried uninstalling/installing IE7 again ?

Sounds like windows is unsure of your default browser, possible corrupt install.

I have to agree with GTS32, firefox is so much more user friendly.
But that doesnt exactly solve your problem as such.

I hate IE with such a passion, for reasons similar to this. I will be useless for helpful suggestions. The best thing i ever did was turn my back on microsoft. Have you tried researching a workaround for links that require IE (never hear of that problem before).

nah i never have looked around for a fix old bill was supposed to have "fixed all Those Issues With His New And Improved Ie 7 ect ect )

as i said shouldnt have strayed from ie 6 just comes in handy i dont think ill be trying ie version 8 thats in beta or when it comes out in full

ill stick with firefox but that playing up as well slow in loading pages once in while could be one of my plugins (addons)


ill get around to it one day

Tried IE7 on my XP machine and was not impressed so went back to 6. Having said that it runs fine on this one with Vista Home Premium installed.

Leave it alone and just use Firefox, Internet Explorer cause more grief than it's worth.

That is a plugin that turns your firefox into IE (well as far as the website knows).

In terms of your problem, reinstalling IE7 would be a good place to start.

Make sure you have the latest version & that your computer is up to date with all of the new updates. I have worked on several vista machines with this problem and installing the updates seemed to fix it.

This is a good addon - wish it worked for Linux
