Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) Release Candidate (RC) on February 10, 2011

[kristalsoldier]

Well..at least DISCUS works now. And this forum works now too!!!! The only remaining problem is Gmail (for me).

Installed the IE9 RC that was released today, February 10, 2011. Lightning fast but flashplayer won't work. Keeps telling you that you need the latest version which I already have (10.2.152.26). Uninstalled, reinstalled, downloaded the .exe file to the hard drive and tried to install. Nothing will work.

Tried the adobe help forum and can't even get connected. I am sure they are getting swamped with people trying to get the flashplayer working. I confirmed the problem by installing IE9 on my netbook with the same results. Anybody receiving information on a fix please post.

The Flash Player site says "Adobe® Flash® Player 10.2 shipped on February 8, 2011 and is no longer hosted on Adobe Labs."

I don't seem to be able to install Internet Explorer 9 RC, even after following all recommended method of installation prescribed by Microsoft:

• Method 1: Make sure that your system meets the minimum operating system requirements
• Method 2: Try an alternative Internet Explorer 9 installer
  • Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate - Microsoft Windows
  • Internet Explorer Downloads - Microsoft Windows
• Method 3: Make sure that Internet Explorer 9 prerequisites are installed
• Method 4: Make sure that installation of other updates or a restart is not pending

And all method of uninstalling the IE9 Beta require me to go into Control Panel -> Programs -> Installed Updates to remove it, but the BETA does not show in the list.
The following command (from admin CMD) does not work:

FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*9.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart"

I keep getting this message:

​

I've used both the download links from Method 2 above in a vain attempt to install IE9 RC - to no avail!

Problems with IE9

Re-installed ie9 twice today, also reset the internet explorer settings, problems at the moment are:
a) Will not work in google maps street view (keeps shutting down).
b)The writing on the AOL UK web site is all jumbled.
c)Will not let me access my AOL mail site (keeps shutting down).

All the above work fine on chrome and ie8.

Newbie to the site and apologise if this is the wrong area to ask for help.

Danny, thats my problem! IE9BETA does not show in the Installed Updates list. I'll be trying the Windows Update Installers posted by ie9:

Open IE Click on Tools go down list to "Compatability View settings" and click. Not Compatability View.
Then check mark all three boxes at the bottom as in picture below. Click close.
Now it will view all pages automatically in Comp. view.

Try a System Restore?
3-4 days ago. Maybe before this past Tuesdays updates?

Then see if any Beta or RC shows and delete it or at least try reinstall new RC.

If restore works I would delete any IE 9 that shows in update list and then install new RC.

Just a thought.

You do realize that some sites like Gmail don't like the compatibility view right?

Have a screen shot of that????



I had 3 instances of IE open and it's less than 160MB (working set), less than 65MB (private set). Also you must really have a small amount of RAM installed to worry about 200MB's

 

[mickey megabyte]

it also depends on what you've got loaded in the tabs at the time...

I was just about to add that. Thanks Mickey.

No problems for me. I downloaded the installers and then installed the appropriate version after closing all open programs. I didn't need to uninstall the Beta version, I just needed to restart when prompted to complete the installation.

 

[Zardoc]

You're amongs the minority that gets away with it. It is ill advised to install over a beta.

Posted for Northerner and those it may help.

Never used Gmail so I don't have any suggestions.
Sorry.
