[Resolved] Can't download IE 7.0

it seems that part of the problem was me living in the future - the time on my computer was set to february 2008...ooooops.

And it's only 2004. Tsk tsk.

Where I work it is somewhere in the mid-1960's.

nevermind me. it's downloaded and working fine....though i don't like it one bit. i liked the 6.0 far better. old dog learning new tricks and all...

IE 7.0 will have problems with many unupdated sites and plugins, etc. You should keep 6.0 handy as well as Firefox.

where's the refresh button?! WHERE is my friggin refresh button? Aaaargh, this is worse than mozilla! ug. tfoooey on them.

oh. right to the right of address bar. ok. still don't like it.

It seems pretty glitchy.

The java download command/link seems to be causing problems for quite a few people.

Gimme my firefox.

I'm using it now for about 1/2 year (beta) - and had none difficulties at all, enither with unupdated sites, plugins nor etc

I have set the date on my computer to 1955. I want to witness the birth of Rock N Roll and prevent the Kennedy assasination. Wish me luck!

yeah, good luck with that.no more updates for you, ever,i wonder, will that revert your internet explorer to the first ever version available?


anyhoo. i still cannot watch videos on youtube. "Java script turned off". How do i turn the bugger on? I tried Internet options - advanced settings, but i see nothing along the lines there...

Good old Mac Hypertext... boy were they ever ahead of their time.

that's what happens when i speak before i google. i found the answer, maybe someone else can use it,too:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x (Windows)

Select Internet Options from the Tools menu.
Click the Security tab.
Click Custom Level in Security Level for this Zone.
Scroll down to Scripting, near the bottom of the list.
Under Active Scripting, choose Enable.
Click OK to leave Security Settings. Click OK to leave Internet Options. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IJsDUTUN3I

Close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other browsers.

Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Internet Options. Under the General tab, delete Temporarary Internet Files and delete Cookies. Open the Security tab, select "Trusted Sites", then click "Sites". In the "Add websites to this zone" dialog box, type (without the quotes) "*.adobe.com", click "Add", then type (without the quotes) "*.youtube.com", click "Add" again. Make sure the checkbox labled "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone" is NOT checked. Click "Close". Still under the "Security" tab, Click the "Custom Level" bar, scroll to the bottom of the list, and make sure "Active Scripting" and "Scripting of Java applets" are enabled. Click"OK" to exit, then click "Apply", and click "OK" again to exit the Internet Options" control panel.

Download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (currently V. 9.0.16.0)

Reboot.

That oughtta do it ... if yours is the "Easy Fix" problem. Its possible more entertainment may be involved, but give that a shot first ... it solves most problems of the sort reported here.

oh, that's probably safer than lowering my security settings. thanks, timber.
