I just downloaded IE7. And now all the print on the forum is very small. I tried the usual ctrl and mouse movement and it made everything bigger but did not give me a full page. Does anyone know , what Happened and how to fix it? Thanks...al

I dont like Internet Explorer 7 at all. On the top of the forum , it dowen't have any options like send to, save . ect. Competely different . I don't like it , I don't like it at all.
How can I get back to my Internet Explorer 6. ? It worked fine for me before. Does IE 7 overwrite IE6 or what? Anyway I want to get rid of IE 7 and get my IE 6 back.
It is just like other things , newer isn't necessarily better.Help...al

Al, go to the top of IE7 (to the right of the 'tab') and right click. This will open a small dialogue box,- click on "Menu bar" and this will make the familiar menus like "File", "Edit", "Favorites", etc, appear again.
Then, in the "View" menu, go to "Text size" and check if it is set to "Medium". This should give you the same size that you're used to.
I actually find many sites to be easier to read in IE7 as the letters appears to be bolder. IE7 has this feature where it automatically sets the fonts on a website to maximum readability, quite a nice feature.
Besides that I don't like it all that much either, I stick to Opera for the time being but open some sites in IE7 as they still aren't displayed properly in Opera.

I've been using I.E.7 since it was in a "final" beta version, and now the "final" version since it was released.
I used to use Firefox a lot but with the new I.E.7, with most of the features of Firfox, plus a phishing filter, I now find that I'm using I.E.7 about 95% of the time.
I have the View/Text Size set to "medium" and all sites display their "normal" size.
There are few sites that are not 100% I.E.7 compatible. Microsoft has a free download, "User Agent String Utility" that will make I.E.7 look like I.E6 to those sites. |

Since switching to IE7 I can no longer drag and drop files to my web page. I don't like it because of that. Other than that I use firfox.
