Well...I followed your instructions...twice. IE7 was extracted and run, and I can get on the Internet with no problem...everything seems fine, except when I try to use a select.
On mine and on others, such as Google.com, selects cause the Pop-Up blocker to respond. I've read the Help file about settings to stop the Pop-Up blocker from responding to file downloads, etc...even turned it off, but selects always set it off and they don't work? IE7 works fine as a full install on my laptop, replacing IE6...suggestions?
