briefly... toshiba portege 7200 CTe, upgraded to xp pro, 40g hd. workhorse
used in 18 wheeler for mapping software and email. tried ie7, kept opening
empty windows; eventually closed with task mgr or soft reset.

reverted back to ie6.

How? Looks like that procedure was incomplete (or interfered with
e.g. by Norton).


tried to live update norton anti virus; tells me i need ie5.5 or
better (not the first program to give similar error, most attempts to access
help files do the same).


Probably means that you still have the IE7 User-Agent and Norton
still doesn't support that. Try spoofing the MSIE 6.0 User-Agent.
Ref. KB923196



side note... ie7 works fine on my toshiba satellite a105-s2716, upgraded to
xp pro (makes it an s2717).

driving me nuts (short trip)


Good luck
