    For your downloading pleasure:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...867d-bb1f17e477ee&displaylang=en&Hash=7RQJWG5

    Instructions
    You must uninstall any previous versions of IE7 before installing IE7 Beta 3:

    Click “Start,” and then click “Control Panel."

    Click “Add or Remove Programs.”

    Check “Show Updates” at the top of the dialog box. (If you are running Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview - March 20, or a newer version of IE7, this step is not necessary.)

    Scroll down the list to “Windows XP – Software Updates,” select “Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview,” and then click "Change/Remove."
    Click the Download button on this page to start the download, or choose a different language from the drop-down list and click Go.
    Do one of the following:
    To start the installation immediately, click Open or Run this program from its current location.
    To copy the download to your computer for installation at a later time, click Save or Save this program to disk.


    Cheers,

    Ivan

    Installed w/o a hitch, and works well. It seems to render quicker, but maybe it's just me looking for changes. The interface seems to be the same.

    On Firefox do: Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks>Export Bookmarks
    then on IE do: File>Import and Export and follow the wizard selecting the bookmarks you exported.

    I tried downloading this beta, but it won't install on my M90. I've tried it several times. I don't have a previous version of IE7 on this machine, just 6 as it's new from Dell. Anyone else have this problem or any ideas as to how to fix it? I tried re-downloading it, checking the things the troubleshooter said to check... nothing.

    if the troubleshooter does not show the registry entry in question, try to re.install in safe-mode/administrator

    cheers ...

    The troubleshooter told me to check the log file to see if it flagged a registry problem, but the log didn't show that being the problem. I don't know. I've yet to try it again since I updated the computer.

    Glad to know that I'm not the only one who's had problems w/ IE 7.

    I made sure that I didn't have any other beta previews on my system, installed it, and rebooted. Thing is though, that any time I tried to open it, it'd crash as soon as it opened up.

    I am running Japanese Win XP Pro SP2...could that be a problem? Language settings incompatible? Oh well, not that it makes that much of a difference, as I normally use Firefox anyway... :rolleyes:

    I think it has to do something with the language! I also noticed that beta 2 didn't show croatian characters at first, and I had to refresh the page. beta 3 works great now!
