Farci - 15 Nov 2006 11:01 GMT
I recenlty installed IE7.0.5730.11 and since then cannot download pictures
embedded in web pages. All I get is the place marker with a red X. I know
this has been discussed on the beta releases but I cannot find a solution.

I aready lowered my security levels and I have also tried disabling Avast
Home Edition. No joy

Help, please?

Maybe you'd find help if you posted in a *PC* group, retard.

Dear Randall,

So sweet of you to take the trouble to help me out! You obviously have an
anger management problem....

Like most Windows devotees, you're both stupid and a loser. Go buy a
Zune.

Randall, considering the number of posting for Win:IE7 lately and
considering it all started almost at the same time, I really suspect one
of the MS sites is redirecting people here when they should end up in
the Win: IE newsgroup.
I don't think they're all stupid, I don't think they're all devotees and
I don't think there is really a point in insulting them all.
(I'd love to figure out what site/link redirects them all here though
:-\)

I used to be a Windows die-hard until I saw the light. My guess is that
they're using Outlook Express as a newsreader because they're too
stupid to get a real newsreader. They see the words Microsoft and
Explorer, and that's enough.

I've used Windows, Linux and various flavors of MacOS and I clearly made
my choice. I chose MacOS because it suits me. If other OS suit other
people better, it's fine with me. It's an individual choice.

Nope, I checked the headers of the messages. They all display the usual
"X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000" indicating that they have
been sent through the newsgroup mirror on the MS web-site.
I really think there is a bad link/redirector somewhere.

Not mandatory. Web site redirection - correct but I'm sure they are
getting there through some search engine. They Google "Internet Explorer
7" and get redirected here. IMHO, insulting people is not right. I'm
also big fun of OSX but I HAVE TO use PC at work so what about my fault
asking PC question related to my job?

I use a PC at work too...with XP no less. But, at the end of the day, I
feel dirty.

Yeah, it feels like you'd have to drive a pickup truck at work while
dreaming of your Austin Martin waiting at home garage, I know it. And
I'm really envious of those working for companies that let employees
organize their environment and choose all the gadgets themselves. At the
end, it doesn't really make a lot of sense to standardize, except there
is a massive procurement deal and significant discounts. It's all so
compatible today..

I agree that it takes a bit of passion to go pay more for a Mac, and
that all feels really exclusive since Jonathan Ive has put his hand of
the Apple design. But the real luxury is not only being part of an
exclusive club. If you feel better, faster, smarter, then most probably
you have that warm feeling towards the rest of the world and in the best
case even responsible to help and guide the others. Question is, guide
which way? A stick, push, aggression? No way, it's a human nature to
resist. Gotta choose another one..

True, Google could have redirected to the MS web-portal for this
newsgroup (but "Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000" is indeed a *signature*
of messages posted through the MS portal).
So far, no one ever mentioned Google or any other search engine whe I
asked them how they found this group by mistake so I really suspect a
problem on the MS portal redirection,

This group is the group for IE for Mac. It looks like a lot of people
make the same mistake these days so I'm starting to wonder whether the
MS site has a bad link somewhere.

Could you please let me knpw what link lead you to this newsgroup??
Thanks,

Corentin

I thought I had followed the correct link to MSN and Internet then IE7 but I
can't find it again. Perhaps 'Mr Angry' - the other poster - had a point!
Thanks for your courteous reply - Randall: go back to kindergarten!

Thanks for letting me know. There has been a LOT of IE7-related posts in
here lately. There must be something wrong somewhere. Thanks for your
herlp though,

You might as well continue being a loser and go buy a Zune.

Price isn't everything. It's nothing compared to an iPod...and it will
end up being another Microsoft failure.

Easy, easy. I also think it's a stupidity and it's just discloses
Microsoft's lack of understanding of Apple strategy but, on the other
hand, these guys were always amazing. They always brought crap to the
market and squeezed everybody else out.
