I just downloaded and installed it.  Does anyone know how to get it to look like the old version?  Thanks.

add /remove programs, uninstall

6 should be right back where it was when 7 is gone.

edit to add:  if you want to keep 7 and have it look like 6, I have no idea.  I am just getting used to 7 on one of my machines before I put it on the rest.  I have had no issues or conflicts, unlike others who have had problems.

I dislike the fact that XP prompts for XP updates and then installs IE 7.  

Not much of a choice.

It did that to me but I clicked "do not install update" after I clicked "view updates"

or something likethat.
I know I dont want E7 on my humble computer.

They upgraded our computers at work.  I can honestly say I've had computer viruses that erased my hard-drive be more enjoyable then IE7.   Of all the Microsoft BS, this went straight to the top for me.

Everytime Microsoft releases a major update, forums everywhere are full of people saying "No way I'm I gonna use it, the old one was way better, blah blah". A year later, most everybody is using it.

In my case, I can't just yet because a few applications I use at work will not work with IE7 (and one of them isn't even a web application, interestingly). But when this is resolved (and it will be), I'll be using IE7 happily. I really like it.

the only thing I don't like about it is that it made all of my icons on my quick start tool bar really small. I got no help at all from the help line

If you right click the menu bar area at the top of the screen, you can click MENU BAR to bring up the old familar menu system for the top like in IE6.  For some reason, it is defaulted off.

I have 7 at home and 6 at work.  Both work fine.  My only complaint so far on 7 is that I can't figure out how to put the File, Edit, View, etc menus at the very top.  It won't let me put them above the URL line.

IE7 downloaded last night.  It changed the fonts and now the letters almost appear blurry!  WTF

Turn off clear type fonts. It's in the control panel somewhere (google it, 'cause I'm lazy).

Found it.  It's under "Interenet Options" in the control panel.  Go to the "Advanced" tab and disable the clear text function.  Clear text is for LCD monitors.  Mines a CRT so clesr text looks funny.

I just deleted it and went back to 6.  Thanks for the help guys, I couldn't get used to the stupid way it is set up.

Had windows vista rc1 running for a few month's but still installed firefox and used that and just did not like the layout of ie 7..............so far firefox still has  the same look even after its updated .

Now running Ubuntu 6.10 linux and VMware server which is free now and works great unlike the older retail VMware 5.something I have tried before . Running windows 2000  in vmware for all those windows apps I still have to use from time to time.

I got to thinking that I would mainly run windows for the games but I did not even install any the last time I installed windows and just have not had the urge for games lately and linux is still fun to mess with.
