IE7 Woes
I had avoided installing IE7 on my desktop computer at home until tonight. I installed it a few weeks ago on my laptop without incident, so tonight, when the Windows update prompted me to confirm installation, I thought "mind as well."
Yeah....well, after about 10 restarts and over an hour googling for fixes, and rummaging through MS's knowledgebase, I have uninstalled IE7 and rolled back to 6. The damn thing crashed every time i started it.
I tried a number of suggestions found on the web, but to no avail. One of them was to use the System Restore to roll back XP to a stable point, but even that failed on 3 occasions, with 3 different restore points.
Frankly, I am a bit irritated right now, since I am starting to code an original layout for this blog.
