Altema · Post by **Altema** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 6:47 pm

Well i guess this has to be better than Ver 5.0

I've been runnin IE 6 since it was in it's first beta stages and have never had any problems and I highly doubt that it you'll run into any now that it's Final, give it a shot, don't be a pansy

Anybody have a screen shot of the browser?

Prey521 · Post by **Prey521** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 7:17 pm

It looks like anyother IE browser

Altema · Post by **Altema** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 7:18 pm

The only difference is that the icons look softer than the ones i used to have.

Any improvements?

Cookie Control....Yes!
Just don't forget to go through your security and internet options as some things in there have changed and you'll need to decide what is and is not to be!!!!!

blebs · Post by **blebs** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 7:54 pm

Some of you may need to go back to windows update and check for critical updates! I had one that got knocked out during the install and had to be reinstalled!

Brent · Post by **Brent** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 8:07 pm

anybody have like a changelog, or updated log...

i'd like to know what's been fixed/updated/added comparing the IE 5 to IE 6 version....

blebs · Post by **blebs** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 8:08 pm

in other words it has that included XP .dll file that tracks everything you do and sends it back to Microsoft huh

From what I've learned of IE 6, it has no spyware included

BadEditor · Post by **BadEditor** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 9:56 pm

On the bottom right of the Explorer widow, you get a 'privacy report' if you click on the icon... its shows its been blocking cookies..

Outlook express becomes version 6, noticed it had extra button 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus' --

One thing I haven't checked out is there also is a 'Encrypt' Button on the tool bar of mail now.........

..only had it installed for 15 mins now...

edit....... maybe the encrypt part has always been there. You have to get a digital ID at This site .. but it costs 14.95 a year.........

I can't get it to download from the setup. I think the servers are just overloaded.

I have been running it now for about a month, no problems and runs as fast as IE 5.01 did. Thanks for the download Prey. Keep in mind that I'm running Win2K Pro......Win98SE was a little slow when I tried IE 6 beta, but that was then and this is now!

AAF Striker · Post by **AAF Striker** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 10:12 pm

Ah, finally got the DL going. Nothing was working so I put in @Home proxy information and the DL went. Wonder why I had to do that...

blebs · Post by **blebs** » Mon Aug 27, 2001 10:13 pm

I tried the beta and had problems from the get go!
I've downloaded and installed this final version and no troubles at all. Me be Happy.

Jamie_R · Post by **Jamie_R** » Tue Aug 28, 2001 6:39 am

Uh ............
Could someone tell me why after I d/l the IE6 Setup prog I get a "Required Resource Missing" error?

Nemesis · Post by **Nemesis** » Tue Aug 28, 2001 6:54 am

im useing beta, i take it i need to install this again now?

Nemesis · Post by **Nemesis** » Tue Aug 28, 2001 3:53 pm

im haveing problems with this.

i downloaded it and it installed but said it not everthing was installed?. everytime i reboot the IE6 resume box pops up, telling me that not everything was installed and would i like to resume. i click yes and same thing again. ive tried 4 times now. at a lost with it but the net is working with out problems.

did this happen to anyone else?.

BadEditor · Post by **BadEditor** » Tue Aug 28, 2001 6:00 pm

BB_Nemesis.........

Truth is ... I installed it, when it rebooted--IT was the Blue screen from Hél -I had to hit the power, when it reset again-same thing.
Hit power again, restarted.......took forever it load (was finishing setup...) Then Finally I got my system back! Whew!

I didn't post that, because two weeks ago at the windows update site, upgrading to 5.5 it crashed then Too! - so it was screwed from that point

..........

Anyhow.... did you have most of the updates from windows? Like windows media player 7.0 for instance.. I think it wants to upgrades that..

Can you do a Fresh install of 6.0 again? ...just acting like you never installed it, and doing it one more time..

.... heres a tip on a built in pop-up ad killer

Here is the full scope on 6.0 from Cnethttp://www.cnet.com/software/0-3227883- ... tml?tag=ld I down loaded it last night.

Same exact problems BB...

I'm running the 1st beta of IE6...heck I get the same thing when I tryy to instal the 2nd beta version and I'm getting the same thing with the gold version so I'm screwed as well.

I do have system restore disabled on this WinME machine and don't know if thats the culprit or not..I've tried it both ways but still no go.

Nemesis · Post by **Nemesis** » Tue Aug 28, 2001 8:44 pm

same here i was alrdy useing the beta of IE6, if you find a fix post or pm please, thanks...

WOW! EA, you actually D/L'd IE 6 again.....I'm soooooooo proud of you. After all the trouble you had before with the beta I figured you'd wait a little longer

.....Good for you!

Just joking bro, I like it alot better than the first betas also.

If you install it on Windows XP, it will get rid of your IE icons in the quicklaunch bar but you can just make your own shortcut there.

mikemean · Post by **mikemean** » Tue Aug 28, 2001 11:26 pm

Just installed it and it seems to be working fine for me.
