IE11 Release Preview for Windows 7 Now Available

[theveterans]

@ jimbo

Hey there. Watching Live TV with Silverlight works fine on my IE 11 on my Time Warner Cable which is my ISP. You probably need to update to version 5.1.20513.0 which is what I'm using. I really don't know why Flash isn't working only on Yahoo shine, Yahoo news and yahoo videos even with the latest 11.8.800.175. Using developer tools to change the user agent string to "Mozilla Firefox" (as adding the site to compatibility list doesn't work for some reason) works flawlessly though, but this only happens on my only PC laptop and I don't have any other Windows 7 PC to test

If it only fails to work on Yahoo, then it's not IE related - the website just can't figure out which browser you're using I guess.

Just FYI

I pointed out in an earlier post that IE11 was working for me on Yahoo - http://www.sevenforums.com/news/305...ew-windows-7-now-available-6.html#post2538760

Installed IE10 after making my weekly images. If all goes well, may go with IE11 after

I don't know why you stayed with 9 so long

And to me, 11 blows 10 away speed wise. But... it's (11) is still in Preview Mode so...

Hi there
On SKY GO / NETFLIX you get the message "Silverlight must be updated to the latest version". When you try the download you get a message "Latest version is already installed".

Same thing happens even if you completely uninstall NETFLIX, SKY GO, and Silverlight, clear all cookies and caches and re-install.

I suppose it depends on what part of Silverlight the relevant applications are using.

Reverting back to IE10 on W7 -- everything worked fine again even in a Virtual Machine. (VMware VM's have had decent Video now for a number of releases !!).

Cheers

Netflix works fine here in IE11

Hi there
I've tried again -- doesn't work on my system !!!! NETFLIX might have some area licensing issues shouldn't though - I've paid a valid subscription.

CHROME browser does work though strangely enough - both applications !!

I'll re-install IE11 (seems a better browser and just use CHROME for watching SKY SPORTS etc - Man utd vs Man City today).

This is definitely on a WINDOWS 7 Laptop (there are other issues with Windows 8.1 but those are known). It's an HP Envy laptop.


Cheers

When I've just tried running SkyGo it said that silverlight wasn't compatible with IE11's protected mode and asked to switch it of, when it did skygo worked fine.

Read too mant posts in the Browser forum with people having issues with 10. Since I use Opera 99% of the time, figured I'd try 10 it works with the few things Opera has issues with, so far so good. A Guy

Hi there

Not trying to hijack the thread away from IE11 but :

CHROME has no probs with latest version of Silverlight -- I'm not sure whether OPERA supports Silverlight "Natively" -- I see from google that some people have found a tweak.

Actually having used CHROME on my mobile phone a lot too I don't really mind it as a browser but IE11 definitely is an improvement over IE10 apart from the one issue I have with it. (Silverlight).

Here's SKY GO working with CHROME.

So I'll stick with IE11 for most things and use CHROME for SKY GO / NETFLIX until I can get this laptop sorted out -- might need a total W7 re-install on it anyway.

Looks like somebody (probably me after a drunken night out) has been playing with some registry settings to set the browser ID to a different one to get a SAP GUI application to work so it could be my fault. !!! More research needed - or better I'll just do a total W7 re-install later and have a new test.


Cheers

It's no surprize it's working on Chrome. Have a look at the Silverlight 4 Compatible Operating Systems and Browser list.

 

[ThrashZone]

So far I'm going to pass on ie11 preview and full version,
I came across this to sort of fix the missing Browser mode options but ?
How to bring back
ie10 is working fine so I'll be sticking with it until ie12
Then I'll just look into Firefox again or Chrome.

OK, I found an issue. On Microsoft's Dream Spark website, IE11 isn't working properly. While I can log in and pick a product, I can't add them to my shopping cart for download. Clicking the "Add to cart" does nothing.

On my Windows 8 machine with IE10, everything works right and I was able to download the product I wanted.

Anyway this is the only non working issue I've found thus far. Strange this is happening with a MS website though

Maybe it will work for a paid product rather than a free product.:roflmao:

DreamSpark is a paid product. Look at the prices on DreamSparks website. It requires a subscription to access it, and its ONLY available to Academic Communities (i.e. K12, Tech, Colleges, Universities, and Government Ran Schools like Job Corp.)

"ONLY available to Academic Communities" of which I am a part of, and registered.

Perhaps the funny man should look into Dream Spark :sarc:

Lighten up, guys. I was merely referring to Microsoft's sometimes unfathomable quirks. If you'll notice, Drew, your own screenshot shows a "free" download. That's all I was referring to. Sheesh.

Yeah. Its a Free download. You have to pay $10 - $20 for a legitimate DVD for the products. I would attach an image showing this, but for some reason SF is denying the upload.
