IE7(beta) display problems

[Blue_SV650S]

Here is an example of my problem (its not just in eBay) - note the strange placing/display of 'Auctions’, ‘Buy it Now’ and ‘Classified Ads’ - what should be – Tabs, they are .... well you can see!! :D ... anyone know what setting I need to change or install do I need? Any ideas?
p.s. I have tried uninstalling the beta and installing IE7, but for some reason it refuses to uninstall and just hangs if I do …

Ditch IE altogether and install Firefox.

How are you uninstalling? Through the control panel? Add/Remove Programs?

I'd love to ditch it, but I can't get it to uninstall!! ;)

I have tried both using 'Add/Remove Programs' and letting the install automatically uninstall ... I end up having to do a system restore as the system just sits there kinda doing nothing ... I am not the most patient man, but I am talking 10min+ with nothing new happening ...

Ok, so don't uninstall it.

Either just install Firefox, set this as your default browser and just leave it, or just install full IE7 over the top of it.

IE7 full tries to uninstall the BETA first ;)

So lets give up on the uninstall, any idea what the problem is??

Have you turned it off and on and again ?

Have you tried all the usual things, like deleting all your cookies and temp internet files?

If not then it could be something to do with your display, or graphics driver perhaps?

I would just install Firefox (or any of a plethora of alternative and safer browsers) and forget about IE altogether.

Why are you still using the Beta? Install the full version & be done with it.

I forget the name of the OCX control that causes that problem, I think it's detailled in the MS Knowledge 'bin.' Basically, it's one of the .dll files that you need to replace. But that shouldn't stop you uninstalling (unless MS are doing something daft like CRC checks on uninstall).

Where's SoulKiss....?

Firefox has steadily improved over the last few years (I've been using it almost exclusively for about 2 years now).

Only time I had to use IE was about a year or so ago, when my bank insisted my browser wasn't safe enough to use online banking (who/what decided this I'll never know ... but it made me laugh, "so they'll insist on us using IE, but say that the much more safer and robust Firefox is not suitable for browsing their online banking application"? Hahahahahaha

Also, used to have to use IE with Hotmail, as Firefox used to look a bit pants, but that's down to M$ using non-standard code, which Firefox wouldn't render properly (thankfully that seems to be a thing of the past now).

However, IE still launches whenever you click "E-mail" from within MSN :smt093. If anyone knows how to change this, let me know ;-)

Cheers,
Pete

Blue - have you tried re-installing IE6 over the top of IE7 and downgrading your Beta IE7 to IE6 that way.

I'm not sure it'll work as it'll probably call the IE7 routine thats hanging but it might be worth a shot.

Have a read of the info in this link

I've only skim read it, but it should do the trick if you follow the instructions...
