AlanHo Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 People should note that Beta 3 will not install on top of Beta 1 or Beta 2.you have to uninstall Beta 1 or Beta 2, re-boot and revert to Explorer 6 before it will accept an install.When I did this Explorer 6 had lost the connection settings and I had to re-set up the internet connection. Not a difficult job - but a bit of an irritation.Beta 3 now working fine (so far anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I am currently running Vista BETA and as Internet Explorer 7 BETA comes with it, I have had no problems so far apart from the annoying click that you get when you access webpages but that's because I have been using Firefox for so long and am used to the peace and quiet!
