This is absurd
I really, really, really, really, really, really tried hard not to criticize
microsoft, becuase I know some of you worship Bill Gates as your God, but what just happened is beyond absurd. The world is in heap big trouble with Microsoft at the helm of the software industry. A little while ago, I got a notice that an update was ready. I didn't know why I received it, becuase my system was set to receive Automatic updates, and the caption on the notification said "Automatic Update". First what is automatic about an update that asks me? Someone out to knock Bill Gates on the head and ask, "Is anyone in there?". But that isn't the problem, just a prelude. I'm really the idiote for saying yes to the update. It was an Internet Exporer v7 update, or so it said. I said yes, then it asked me if I accept the license, and of course I did. The next thing I saw was that Internet Explorer V7 was being installed ( I had it installed over a month ago). Then it said it was uninstalling a previous version and I thought, Uh Oh!!!!!! And rightfully so. I was asked to restart my computer and naturally I couldn't ignor that request, becuase it kept coming back and bugging me. So I said yes, and nothing happened. So I tried to restart and it wouldn't. Finally after a several attempts I opened the task manager and dumped a bunch of programs then was able to restart. After I restated, I opened up IE and went to open a new tab and there weren't any. HUH, I asked myself? No tabs? I like tabs, what happened? This is what happened, the update uninstalled version 7 and installed version 6. Do I need to say any more? I can't, becuase there is no description suitable to describe this, except, HUH!!!!! I think Microsoft need some updating of personnel, starting with Bill Gates and continuing until the last programmer is booted. Keep the cleaning crew and the cafeteria staff. |

My question to you is: Are one you of the MVP clones with preformatted
brains?... From YOUR question asking for a question, the conclusion to my question is: affirmative. "Pegasus (MVP)" wrote in message ... Fine soap box speech. Now what exactly is your question? |

The internet explorer download will first remove IE7 beta if you are using
that (you were). Then after a reboot, IE7 final should be installed. Then another reboot. Now, if you cleared out any temp files before you rebooted (many cleaning programs can be set up to do just this) the files needed to restart the install into IE7 final were likely deleted. Therefore, you will again have IE6. Try to reinstall IE7 final again. Reboot when told to. Don't wait. Don't clean out any temp files. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

This is an analogy of what happened.
You purchase brand new Steel Belted Radial tires for your car. Previously you had non-radial tires and they were worn bald. The dealer calls and says, come in and we will fill them with nitrogen. This will give them longer life. So you take them in and when you pick up your vehicle, the old tires that you just replaced are back on your car. Now you may argue that IE is free, so that isn't a good analogy, and I'll argue that you shouldn't pay for any Microsoft junk. "Mark A. Sam" wrote in message ...

I am seriously not interested in anyone's Internet Explorer problems, so
I fail to see your reason for crossposting this to the Outlook newsgroup Mark A.

thanks for sharing, but I doubt if this is useful info for anyone
"Mark A. Sam" wrote in message ... I really, really, really, really, really, really tried hard not to criticize microsoft, becuase I know some of you worship Bill Gates as your God not really, but I guess he is probably glad that you compare him as a God.... did you forward this to him ? , but what just happened is beyond absurd. The world is in heap big trouble with Microsoft at the helm of the software industry. is that why you are using MS yourself.... and for how long are you using Microsoft products ... if I may ask ? A little while ago, I got a notice that an update was ready. I didn't know why I received it, becuase my system was set to receive Automatic updates, and the caption on the notification said "Automatic Update". yep, read it again.... 1) "I got a notice that an update was ready" 2) "I didn't know why I received it" 3) "my system was set to receive Automatic updates" -- BINGO ! First what is automatic about an update that asks me? Please see : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525 Someone out to knock Bill Gates on the head and ask, "Is anyone in there?". Really?, first read up on the particular function feature before you give out (please) But that isn't the problem, just a prelude. I'm really the idiote for saying yes to the update. It was an Internet Exporer v7 update, or so it said. I said yes, then it asked me if I accept the license, and of course I did. without reading it ? just click on "OK" on all boxes ever presented to you ? -- good going ! really ! The next thing I saw was that Internet Explorer V7 was being installed ( I had it installed over a month ago). 1 month ago V7 was beta, so you did not install V7, you installed V7-beta Then it said it was uninstalling a previous version and I thought, Uh Oh!!!!!! And rightfully so. I was asked to restart my computer and naturally I couldn't ignor that request, becuase it kept coming back and bugging me. So I said yes, and nothing happened. So I tried to restart and it wouldn't. Finally after a several attempts I opened the task manager and dumped a bunch of programs then was able to restart. next time posting you might want to give us some details on "a bunch of programs" ? just so genuine people on these newgroups might try to actually help you..... After I restated, I opened up IE and went to open a new tab and there weren't any. HUH, I asked myself? No tabs? I like tabs, what happened? This is what happened, the update uninstalled version 7 and installed version 6. OK, that is the closest we come in this post to a problem statement, or at least an attempt to. Do I need to say any more? Yes please, do say more.... the world is waiting for posts like this I can't, becuase there is no description suitable to describe this, except, HUH!!!!! I think Microsoft need some updating of personnel, starting with Bill Gates and continuing until the last programmer is booted. Keep the cleaning crew and the cafeteria staff. that will solve all problems, including cancer and world hunger.... |

I apologize
I'm sorry for this post. I didn't want to offend, annoy or anger any of you.
I just get tired of constantly fighting with software, and this just pushed me over the edge. Little quirks take too much of my time, and there are many of them. "Mark A. Sam" wrote in message ...
