IE 7 cannot run, DoS condition

When running IE 7 in Vista, it consumes 100% of system resources and never
loads a page. This machine was upgraded from XP SP2 wiht IE 7 RC1 already
installed.

Since I use Firefox anyway it does not affect me much.

Hi Edward,

You should have removed IE7 beta from WinXP prior to installing Vista as an
upgrade as there are a number of compatibility issues. You will need to
backup data, then proceed with a format/clean install.

Re: IE 7 cannot run, DoS condition

IE 7 was RC1, not beta, which I presumed was OK. Since this is my primary
laptop I will have to wait until the mood suits me to do a fresh install

At first glance I see nothing in the way of improvment security-wise on this
OS. If this is the best Microsoft can do, then they deserve to lose some
market share.

IMHO, Vista is a dud.

Hi,

Yes, it was RC1 for IE7 in WinXP, not for Vista. Vista already has IE7, the
stand alone is for other operating systems.

Hit a known spyware site, see if the changes in the security model have any
effect for you.

I believe McAfee's Site advisor was casuing issues. disabled the plug-in,
and IE 7 comes up normally.
