Hi Jahewi all i know is what i have seen from Beta IE7 and from 2 laptops that i have seen in the last few days they both had older Xp systems so im not 100% sure about this
i think we will just have to wait and see what happens..

@Milligansghost,

Is that true? Even if you make a new restore-point after installing IE7 and use that in case of need?

Thanks for the heads up, Temerc.
It seems to me that M$ is at least is trying resolve the issue and that’s a good thing …

I think thats the Same Error that IE7 Beta had and i think that some people will discover that even if they uninstall IE7 and install IE6 and then reinstall IE7 they will never be able to use restore Via Explorer as Restore needs IE to make it work and reinstall messes this up …

This flaw has allegedly been fixed, accorind to the IE team. However, there are no ‘official’ links to show the correction. I got confirmation from another MS MVP and he quoted me a link, but due to NDA restrictions, I can’t share that info.

That being said, the IE team still recommends uninstall of IE7. Which kind of sounds as tho it’s not REALLY fixed.
