Guest Kilroy44 Posted August 1, 2005 CID Share Posted August 1, 2005 you dont have to do that i had the same problem go to add and remove programs and make sure the show updates box is checked. Then there should be an option to remove ie 7 beta which will give you back ie6 hope that helps:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsnet2k8 Posted August 1, 2005 CID Share Posted August 1, 2005 Well, I have Installed it again but keep having that issue with the toolbar. Guess I wont be able to test IE7 Beta. I give up trying to install IE 7 i even installed SP2 just for that' but even if i can use the windows updates website and dowload anything i want there are still certain products that won't let you install if you have a pirated copy of XP...... oh well ii'll just keep IE 6 nad get rid of SP2 since it mesed up my mouse already' its very sluggish cause it doesn't move as i move it' it has a mind of its own!!

Chais Posted August 3, 2005 CID Share Posted August 3, 2005 I mean if the product key they gave you isnt working what do you think happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6arett Posted August 3, 2005 CID Share Posted August 3, 2005 Okay my family and I went to BestBuy Convention and Microsoft gave all the Presedents, VPs, all Windows XP Professional Corproate Edition, I gave the computer company (whom fixed my PC) the CD and the Product key...they decide to install their own windows xp (now this was 2 years ago) and now...this guenuin check thing comes in and I cant get MS STUFF ANYMORE! and if you were wondering about weres the cd at? while the cd was misplaced.

Chais Posted August 3, 2005 CID Share Posted August 3, 2005 Also I noticed after I installed IE7 I couldnt upgrade windows anymore at microsoft update site. Even with shuting off the product key check, the green search bar that moves when searching for updates doesnt stop moving and no updates are available. So I unistalled IE& back to IE6 and updateing worked again. SO anotherwards I can get IE7 to work but I think the beta prevents you to be able to update. Thats one of its screw ups they need to take out on final version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still have your product key? the original one? Or did the shop that put your windows in rob your key? In your case i would call microsoft to get this resolved. But if you want a quick fix like I told you I can get it to work but IE7 screws up updating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
