Hi,
IE7 is still in Beta testing and will probably not fix any problems you are
having with IE6. You should try to resolve the Internet Explorer problems
with IE6 installed.

Hi Ahmad
Once you have your SP1 & SP2 and you have downloaded all the security etc
updates since SP2, then go to the IE7 group/discussion below, and read about
the problems encountered with this beta product.

In general, the consensus of opinion is not to install IE7 which is in beta
stage of trial/testing, unless you are better than moderate technically
minded or you have a second system for the purpose of testing beta etc.



I think you may find you have enough on your hands getting SP1 and SP2
sorted with the attached problems some have had.

It would be a shame, if having got through what needs to be done, you add
IE7 and you get a load of trouble.

In addition consider that once you have installed IE7 and you don't like
it/crashes your computer, it is not that easy to revert back to IE6.

Some may disagree with me - but are you a gambling man???

Remember that IE7 is in Beta. It still has bugs and therefore may trash
your system, requiring a format and reinstall of everything. Besides, your
really need to install SP2 and all subsequent security updates.
