Re: IE7 and ATT Yahoo Browser Alert
said by Enlightener  :Why in the world would I want to use a Yahoo! Browser? Some people use it for thier kids, I get requests to install AOL and Yahoo all the time. Just to more or less keep the kids from going to them there "inappropriate" places on the internet.
That's about all it is.

Microsoft has a tool to block automatic delivery of IE7
»go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65788
Per Microsoft...
" The script creates a registry key and sets the associated value to block or unblock (depending on the command-line option used) automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 7 on either the local machine or a remote target machine.
Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\7.0
Key value name: DoNotAllowIE70
* When the key value name is not defined, distribution is not blocked.
* When the key value name is set to 0, distribution is not blocked.
* When the key value name is set to 1, distribution is blocked." |

I'm helping them also. In the same way people help newbies by telling them to put PPPoE on their router and never even stick the SBC CD in their computer.
Keep this junk off your machine, you don't need it. |

said by Enlightener :Running Vista RC2 with IE 7.0 and everything is fine with the websites that I visit. Again, an ISP should be a big fat dumb pipe. I don't need any `value added` garbage. O my god - I am just posting to let those who use ATT Yahoo Browser know about the issue with IE7. Why do people always post negative things in helpful threads?
If your not even using it - why bother posting? Obviously this thread doesn't apply to you.
I am real real real happy for you - I'm glad you don't need any value added garbage. I don't use the ATT Yahoo Browser either but you don't see me dumping all over the ones who do? |

Yahoo is working hard to get it compatible before November 1st when IE7 becomes a critical update. Otherwise, our phone lines will become overloaded. |

As of Today, ATT/SBC Yahoo Tech support still says IE7 is not compatible with SBC Yahoo DSL service, due to browser crashes that occur when attempting to access certain Https pages on Yahoo's system. |

The actual Yahoo browser is not yet compatible with IE7. |

I downloaded and installed IE7 this morning. No trouble installing but I was definitely un-impressed. Using GoBack I reverted to IE6 and I intend to stick with Firefox for all but those pages that just insist on you using IE. UGH!  |

| FYI - IE7 and Yahoo Browser are incompatible at this time, however Yahoo is working to correct this problem and get a fix out ASAP.
So if you update to IE7 and use the yahoo browser - it may or may not work and possibly corrupt your installation of all yahoo services. Just FYI. |
