I've been testing Windows 7 beta as a whole and it seems there still needs to be a lot of work to be done on Internet Explorer as the browser doesn't render pages correctly and crashes often. From my experience Internet Explorer 7 is a lot more stable and renders pages better.

Is anyone else having this problem in Windows 7 beta 64-bit? Take a look here:

Remember, W7 is a Beta OS - and IE 8 is still a Beta browser.

Expect some things that need ironing out.

FWIW - the last time I tried IE 8 Beta 1 on Vista - I complained loudly and got rid of it inside of a week....

Are you using IE8 64-bit or 32-bit? I'm using the 32-bit version.

Is anyone else getting frequent crashes or is it just me?

Hello lhinckley,

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

I'm with Mr. GRiM. I used IE a couple times and now use Firefox.

firefox not an option here

The site above - icastnews.com - sends a 24/7 live stream with live programs or broadcast feeds (same as live - not on-demand) if there is no breaking news - firefox won't play it except using ieTab. The WMP firefox plugin from microsoft doesn't seem to work here. The source of the stream is a dedicated windows media server. btw. On-demand windows media streams are no problem form this site, only the live one. I should note that live streams are rather unusual except for special events. I found the same problem on other live stresm feeds.

This is ie7 64bit. IE7 in XP or Vista works fine on this feed.

Ive not had many crahes so far. If you find a site is crashing IE8, try its compatibility mode.
