don't do it. backup your drive and create a restore point first. before installing i e 9. i had to go back to i e 8 i e 9 kept crashing, takeing up to a minute to load some web pages this is with broadband. not dial up. it alters the windows mail view when composeing messages and win eyes could not read any of the text i typed in the body of the message. its like the days of windows 98. when you change the colors in i e it also changes the colors of the message composition window. just like it use to do with windows 98. but it is doing this with vista 32 bit. when i uninstalled i e 9 windows mail now works like it use to do. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Tinney To: Jim Williamson ; GW Micro Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 7:59 PM Subject: 7.5 for xp sp3
Jim, I've been using ie8 on my xp/sp3 computer ever since it came out without a problem. I've been very pleased with the stability of 7.5, but I haven't tried ie9 yet on my Windows7 machines.

I've been running WE 7.5 since the beta was first released. The only problem I had was with IE 8 which went away as soon as I backed up to IE 6. That tells me that the problem was IE 8 not WE7.5. I don't know what you're running on your system but from the array of the complaints you have that there some things which are definitely conflicted. I don't believe that complaining about the beta cycle will solve your problems either but my experience in the past has been that working with the WE tech guys led to a satisfactory solution of my problems in the past. I wish to also note that the majority of those past problems were due to my errors not the WE program. As I have not experienced any of your issues and am also running XP Pro SP3using DEC Access i can't offer you any help.

It's also much more stable, with many fewer memory leaks and crashes, than 7.2. It also has various scripting enhancements such that you'll find, apps on app central are now being created which will only run on 7.5 and later (I believe the WinAmp app is like this). And of course, in the past, GW continued to offer a series of free upgrades after a major paid upgrade, which added more capabilities, and will only be available to those who move to 7.5. hth, Chip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Les Gordon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 5:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: 7.5 for xp sp3 hello everyone, i am running win xp sp3 with 7.2 i wanted to find out, since i'm sticking to xp pro for right now what big advantages is there to upgrade to 7.5? thanks for the help les Cd/Dvd Duplication & Custom Printing Customer Service Les Gordon Phone: (267)329-8150 email: [email protected] web: http://www.cdrdvdr.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5968 (20110319) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5968 (20110319) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. part000.txt - decompression could not complete (possible reasons: insufficient free memory or disk space, or a problem with temp folders) part001.htm - decompression could not complete (possible reasons: insufficient free memory or disk space, or a problem with temp folders) http://www.eset.com If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
