WIN7 64 @#%*&$

AHHHGH!

 

[Skaz~SPARTA~]

why in the world would you still be using internet explorer?

[Batwing~SPARTA~]

Windows is windows... it wouldn t be it without some crash here and there, don tget it personal

 

Difficult to say how serious can be this issue, lol ... your explanation is quite to the point with your frustration tho

 

Just a simple question, not related to it... why do you use on Win 7 that horrible graphic config, disguising it for Win 98 ??

 

Probably it is upset with you!

[GySgt~SPARTA~]

hmm not sure what to say Halli time to start using another browser maybe

[Halli~SPARTA~]

Have tried the Windows Beta 9.0 and it does the same.

Have tried the Windows Beta 9.0 and it does the same.

 

 

Yup - same as. IE8 and 9 are now unusable on my 64build. Reinstallation doesn't clear the issue. Time to spread your wings for another browser. There are plenty out there.

you should only use X64 bit if you have 4 gigs of ram or more otherwise bad stuff will happen.

[BowtomePhil]

Try compatability mode, some websites just don't work on ie9 beta, switch mode and voila

[Batwing~SPARTA~]

Actually a known issue with IE8 64 .exe was reporting failure on the program.

 

It is suggested to use the 32 bit .exe only also if you are running Win 7 64.

 

However it is very possible that something bad happened testing the IE9 BETA. I didn t even try it, understanding it might seriously compromise the browser and already in the past, trying to revert to the previous IE version was a royal pain.

 

I never had any IE crash on my system so I cannot really provide a wider scope of suggestions.

The right answer:

 

So install W7 64bit

Do all the updates from MS

install AV & Firewall ESET/ or similar

 

Install Firefox or google chrome

Set as default browser

Install browser dictionary and toys

 

Install MSI afterburner

Install VLC media player

Install Win rar 64bi

7Zip

Quick par

 

Install Driver boost, don't subscribe but use it to pin any out of date bits

Install TS3

Install email client

 

 

check for win 7 64bit updates again

install latest graphics drivers

install games & appz.

Halli I've been using Firefox for 2 years and it hardly ever gives me grief

[Halli~SPARTA~]

will try FireFox this weekend!

[Batwing~SPARTA~]

I was surfing for other stuff and I found this page and i remembered someone had issues with IE 9

 

I am pretty sure you know these info, but I thought to share:

 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/help/ie-9/how-do-i-install-or-uninstall-internet-explorer-9

 

Also remmeber that on IE Tools/InternetOptions/Advanced there is a RESET botton which does exactly that, reset to day 1 and 99% of the times solves any wrong config issue.

 

Then, if is still not working, well.. use another browser or reinstall Winz ...

[SirSmokalot]

Dump IE for FireFox or Chrome Halli. I sway more towards Chrome and have been using it for about a year now...love it!

 

Also one thing you might want to do is uninstall all browser addons for IE like toolbars etc, back up your favorites as well just in case.

 

Then uninstall IE9, follow this easy guide and all should go back to normal as IE8 is backed up in Win7:

EDIT: oops Bat listed the same fix as well.

[Halli~SPARTA~]

I went back tp ie8 but still have this at times I sayi t's due to Win7/64.

[Batwing~SPARTA~]

Just be sure you are using th 32 bit exe, 64 bit is nor good and may crash often
