Hi Al.
My IE9 beta only works for 1 day .....
I installed it yesterday and it worked perfectly good for the whole day ...
Today when i try to log on internet it tries for few second and disappears ..nothing happens ..?
i have to uninstall it and IE8 works fine ..
Any of you have this problem ...?
That is exactly what I was referring to. Can't wait!
Why wait? The preview works now, in all of IE8 and IE9 64 bit and the Firefox 4 x64 beta/nightly build. Just download and install the appropriate one, or both if using IE and Firefox.
Alright guys...somebody asked me how I got IE9 64-bit as my default browser and the answer is, by going into "Internet Options" >> "Programs" >> "Make default". It tells you you can't do it, but in reality you can. My screenshots:
Um, Your screnshoot matches what I see? It says you can't make IE (64 bit) the default browser and make default is greyed out. So how do you make it default if you can't click the button?
It's greyed out because I already clicked it, making IE9 64-bit the default.

I set IE9 as default:
If the 64 bit is open, click on a link in an email, it opens in the 64 bit browser in a new tab. This leads me to believe the 64 bit is the default.
If no browsers are open, the link is opened in the 32 bit browser, leading me to believe the 32 bit browser is the default.
This might explain the difference in results when trying to set IE 9 64 bit as default - or not.
Thats what I'm seeing too, if IE 9 64 bit is already open links will just open a new tab. But is every other senario IE 9 32 bit opens, so that would indicate to me that the 32 bit version is the default.
Posting from it now, will see how things go, the main part will be if it works with my shopping site and my bank, I know it works OK with Roboform as I used it to login here, although I had an update to Roboform before I carried on with the download of IE9.
I'll just use it in it's default setup to start with to see how it goes before I do any alterations.
After posting I had had no issues with IE9 the other day, I found a bank site yesterday that wouldn't function properly in IE9. I couldn't expand a monthly statement. I could expand it, but not print it w/Minefield beta.
Your cautious approach is to be commended, may save troubles down the road.
All in all, I like 9.
