internet explorer 7 problem

[kyra]

i recently upgraded to internet explorer 7 and noticed now that there are random lags in my system, such as when i select files in windows explorer or simply hit the windows start key on my keyboard. i'm using xp pro and everything's current with windows update. i've also done scandisk, defrag, anti spy/virus

additionally, it caused my yahoo anti-virus to get an error. i didn't like ie7 anyway, so i went back to ie6. the anti-virus error is gone, but i still get that annoying lag. can anyone help me? i'd much appreciate it. thankie ^__^

Have you done any regular maintenence on this machine lately ? ?
Run chkdsk
Run defrag

Update and run all your security scans.

What are you running for protection BTW ? ?

I've have problems with IE 7 also. After I installed IE 7 It wouldn't load web sites. It kept saying that the web sites were blocked (ports 80 & etc.. blocked) or web sites were not availiable. So I gave up and uninstalled IE 7 and went back to IE 6. There are too many bugs in IE 7. I saw that there were a fix for IE 7 somewhere but I wasn't able to download because the stupid IE 7 wouldn't let me access the microsoft web site.

 IMHO, Microsoft should have worked out the bugs in IE 7 before they released it.

all i know is ie7 is evil and should be recalled .. cuz it wont let me acess my ftp or would ff for some odd reason

[kyra]

yes, i've done all the maintenance...spyware/virus check, chkdsk, scandisk thorough/repair, defrag and windows update

i'm using at&t yahoo online protection

i have another annoyance this has caused, too. when i have internet explorer open and switch to another program, it sometimes covers up whatever i'm switching to. meaning i select the program but can't see it because the ie window won't let me until i minimize it

Sorry, my bad.  I guess I was asking too much.

Also, if you decide to try IE 7 that you do not install the beta version of the program:

Good to see ya' warrior.  8-)

Yeah, i took a break for a couple months.

thanks for responding ^__^ i did the uninstall within about 10 minutes of "upgrading" to ie7. i just downloaded ie6 via the link you gave me, and it tells me that my current version (6) is newer than the setup program, so it won't re-install. grr!

cuz when u uninstall ie 7 you automatically go back to the version you were using just restart you computer then go to ms update page to make sure you still got the ie6 updates..

i just did this a couple of days ago
