Scare Tactics Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Im always scared to do system restore, ive heard bad stories with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) I'm stuck with it too since I downloaded the "update". No warning that it was all new. I finally got the toolbars reduced so they don't fill half the screen. Edited December 14, 2006 by Zooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Im always scared to do system restore, ive heard bad stories with that... It's safe. I'm stuck with it too since I downloaded the "update". I keep telling you people about that so called 'update', I'll never use it again. www.windowsupdate.62nds.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've had no problems with IE7. Works great. I liked Firefox for a while, but started having problems with it after a while on both machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) son of a girlie when I was logging off on my laptop and school today it asked me if I wanted to install updates as part of shutting down. I hit ok by mistake, but didn't think anything of it (it did NOT say "install IE7") And now I look up at the blue bar across the top of my screen and read "IE7" (and this was after our system admins told us not to install it until after they made sure it was compatible with the rest of our software) Edited December 14, 2006 by wiegie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilly Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 IE7 was a mandatory update at my work. Unfortunately for us, it wasn't compatable with some of our stuff, and we were down for 3 days. I don't like it either. Why can't they just leave well enough alone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Downloaded IE7, dont like it or want it, is there an easy way to go back to what i had before? Or do i have to totally uninstall 7, then D/L 6?? I downloaded it but didn't play with it much because I could not get Oracle Apps to run with it. I went into the "Add or Remove Programs" in the Control Panel (make sure that "Show Updates" at the top is checked), clicked the Change/Remove button for IE 7 and got rid of it which put me back to IE6. I'm on XP by the way. I use Firefox 2.0 anyway, but wanted to see what IE7 was like. Edited December 14, 2006 by Gunther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your IT Dept just made it mandatory without testing against your applications and web usage?? Jeez, I'd fire the guy that did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We test it in our lab here it seems like forever before it goes out. We probably won't updgrade to IE 7 until sometime next year. I did install it at home and have had no problems with it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I did add and remove and it took me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 We know for a fact that it won't work with our web apps at work. So the Sysadmins sent out a company wide email to disable Automatic Updates. I hope no new Security holes are busted open on Windows now that require an automatic update...

We have windows updates disabled on all of our workstations. All patches are tested in out test lab and then rolled out via SMS. Every second tuesday of the month, black tuesday, Microsoft releases their patches and then by friday of that week they are being rolled out minus the ones not needed (ie7 being a prime example until fully tested) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
