Move your mouse over the right-hand side of the address bar and when it turns into a horizintal double-ended arrow, click/hold the mouse button and drag to the left (decrease size) or to the right (increase size) as appropriate. When you are happy with its size, release the mouse button.

but i know how you mean to move the mouse as i always did in IE8 but it does not work with IE9 rc ?
what to do ?


here is what i mean: http://oi54.tinypic.com/n33diw.jpg

You can only resize the address bar when it is on the same line as the tabs. When it is above, it defaults to the full width of the screen.

so i can ONLY resize when the address bar it's in the same line and if it's under as I WANT IT, then i can not resize ?

Is that with tabs below.I noticed you have a second address bar though.Is it possible when you only have the one address bar im not sure it is.

Is it necessary to install the 64-bit version if I am on a 64-bit OS? I think there may be a few problems with the 64-bit version.

The 32-bit package won't even install on 64-bit systems, the 64-bit installer contains both x32 and x64 versions, there are no issues with the 64-bit version

I installed the x64 version and my computer updated both the X32 and X64 versions to IE9 RC

My guess is the reason for this is if you want to run Windows 7 in the XP mode though I could be wrong on this

IE 32 bit is the default browser even on 64 bit Windows 7. Clicking a link in an e-mail etc opens IE 9 32 bit. You have to go to the start menu and click the Internet Explorer (64 bit) Icon to actually use the 64 bit version. You can't set the 64 bit version as default, I really hope Microsoft changes that in the final release.

Hi Wds7

Wont be long before someone comes up with a tweak for it.Personally i like it across the screen all central looking anyway when you only have the 1 bar

I like the long bar too ....all the controls are the the same place ...

seems to have problems with Java.

For instance broadband speed test website that uses Java

www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html

You must reinstall Java in order to fix (repair) it after updating to IE9.

Also, not sure who said URL links not working from Outlook. They are working fine here, using Office 2010. Maybe repair Office too?

Can't find a good reason to use it instead of Chrome.

because some of us actually use a vast number of sites that are IE only and chrome can't handle, so having an upgraded IE thats pretty much as fast as Chrome that works so far on every site I throw at it with all features. I'll take it.

SharePoint for example, try it on Chrome, it's dumbed down. IE9 you get full features in an upgraded fast browser.

I'm loving the RC, they fixed so far all my complaints I hated about beta. Most all my older admin sites woudln't work, and they all have worked so far! 2 thumbs up!
