Internet Explorer 9 beta: The beauty of the web

[lsufrontier]

Does the add-on, Groove GFS Browser Helper have anything to do with it not working? Mine is disabled.

 

[lsufrontier]

Yeah I have google as my default and then bing and youtube as the other two.

Is this what you see for settings?

Disable Google, leave Bing on as the default.

 

[lsufrontier]

Yeah that is what I see also. I don't know what it could be.

Got me stumped. Sorry. But, as you know, there's a lot of smart folks 'round these parts!

Try disabling other tool-bars and leave Bing as the only enabled one. Then restart the browser and try again.

 

[lsufrontier]

I set bing as my default and it still did not work.

Did you disable other toolbars in Internet Explorer 9 "Addons"? Select settings, then click "Manage Add-ons".

Got it worked out. Had to end task on the install. Then end task on something like iecore. About 6 instances of that. I got smart and closed everything like sidebar gadgets and all programs.
It installed in 15 seconds.
All gadgets work
Maxthon 2 works beautifully!

I started installing this at 601PM EST. 30min later still not done. Just says downloading required updates. Doesn't look like anything is downloading.
How fast did it install for you guys and how much does it need to download?

It took me about three minutes.

Thx looks like mine is stuck at about 66%.
Made an image just in case...

Yeah I have no other toolbars. I can tell something is not right because when I type into the address bar the google or bing logo does not even show up next to where I am typing.

Type a search....did you click the little blue link "Turn on search suggestions" in the box that pops down?

 

[mikedl]

lsufrontier, I'm sure someone here will help get it figured out. I cannot seem to replicate the issue short of explicitly turning off "search suggestions."

As an aside; Holy Cow, what a mem hog IE9 x64 is! Four tabs open shows this:



whereas FF 4.0b7pre x64 with 6 tabs open shows this:

*Sigh...* And memory usuage matters why?
*says the person with only 2GB on main and 1GB on netbook*

 

[lsufrontier]

yeah thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Also that is the problem, nothing pops down when I search. There is no box that pops down like usual.

 

[Skulblaka]

Go to "Manage Add-ons" then onto the screen that's in the attachment.

As you can see there on the bottom, that tick mark should be ticked, ""Search in the address bar".

 

[lsufrontier]

It's checked.

LOL! I hear ya! I've got 4 GB but I run AutoCad Archtectural Desktop 2011 x64 alongside my browser often with 6 or more tabs open. Toss in Outlook, Excel, Access (job tracking and billing database) and the occasional Word doc and knowing Win 7 takes 1.13 GB just at start up, well, memory can become an issue at times.

 

[Skulblaka]

It's checked.

I'm stumped...

Wait... Go here and download Bing that's on there on top. I really hope that will fix the problem. :shock:

 

[lsufrontier]

It tells me its already been installed. I dont know either. That Groove GFS Browser helped doesn't have anything to do with it?
