Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:
Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then
STOP!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install
(ignore any references to Vista)
And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
Alternately, use this Direct Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b
Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.
Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

After trying to install IE7 on Win xp pro SP3/IE6 several times, both from
net and from update-cd, I gave up and called customer support. (All
programs
bought and the laptops hard-disk formatted before trying. Original OEM
XP.)
The answer from "support" was that I had to connect via cable or pay more
than my laptop is worth. Naturally I gave up.
I am retired now, but I have been working with computers and programs
since
before Windows/IBM PC. I still remember CP/M, Gary Kildall (RIP) and how
Windows started. I also know how to explain problems in a manner that the
customers feels that they might have done something wrong. I hoped these
times were gone, but you guys really make me feel young again!
Shame on you! The only change is that you are getting paid to lie!
I do not know how many thousands I have spent on your software during all
these years, but I think I would have gotten a nice car for it at least. I
feel like an idiot, because I have tried to be true to my principles.
I just started in the wrong lane, right?
Keep up the bad work, and you will end up like the dinosarus!

Very good reply! It will be tested at once. By the way, I mentioned that the laptop was supererased/formatted, and I installed an original XP for this laptop only. Thereafter, I tried to install IE7. Thanks anyway.
