Little Niggle, does anyome have any suggestions/advice

When I move from sites my favourites tp the Favourites Bar on a few it will not associate the correct icon with the appropriate website. For example I have Ebay (which is correct) but when I add BBC Football the BBC Icon changes to Ebay but still shows correct BBC website. I have deleted/moved it numerous times and on every occassion the BBC chngrs to Ebay :-(

When going to the address bar click and drag the web page's icon down to the Favorites bar. Then right click on it to abbreviate. Any page pinned to bar will be long at first.

The Favorites bar replaces the old "links" you used to pull out across IE as a bar and works the same as seen with the Personal bars on other browsers.

Nope that still doesn't do it. As soon as I drag BBC Football and relese mouse click the Icon changes to Ebay (but has correct BBC Website)

This happens only for BBC sites, mine is vista but the behaviour seems to be the same.

as i read somewhere else it seems that it replaces completely IE8 and works on its own.
If it is uninstalled later IE8 will be loaded again...

NICE.
An di will try it for sure.

That's right. IE9 will replace IE8 when installed, and then return it to IE8 when you uninstall. I had to uninstall it b/c McAfee wasn't working well with IE9.

I have Norton 360 !
Do you think that i will have the same problem ?
Maybe firewalls in both programs are not yet updated.
I am going to chat with norton people for this.
Thanks for alerting us...

Seemed to be working fine for me.

Chrome is constantly in beta.....

At least with the beta release of IE ( and a little effort you still see a fully functional browser not "half of something" still in Limbo!

Let's face it Google hasn't any real ideas on how to make an OS even let alone a browser for it! Just the initial look at it was all it took to say no thanks!

So far the beta has been running as if it was already a finished browser without any hangups seen with it. I think MS, starting with 7, is now being a little more cautious when first going to release any beta versions for things since the beta for IE 7 would have already crashed by now if that was the version just being seen.

For IE 9 was well as for W7 more testing seems to be the rule rather then a rush to slap a beta up for grab as had been seen previously. That works out for everyone better in the long run.

You might want to try it for more than a look.
Give it a few days, you might like it.
There is more than a slight resemblance between Chrome and the new IE9b
Don't knock it until you've tried it.

It's a good browser, I've been using it since it first came out. It's a much more polished browser than IE9b is, although I think this beta will get improved with time. And I am using the IE9 beta, it does have a few quirks but so far, I like it.
Won't be deleting Chrome any time soon.

Yeah I think it definitely makes sense to check with your security software...on such a new product still in beta I wouldn't be surprised if there are other compatibility issues out there besides McAfee.

OK it will be tomorrow when I see any answers to my question, I've just been through all the pages and haven't found out but, I installed the 32 bit version.
Now we have a critical update for Flash and of course I can't download the new one because I'm running IE9, would I be able to download and install this Square flash that I've heard mention of in my 32 bit IE9 ?

Thanks all I'll be back to tomorrow.

That's what I am using in my 32-bit IE9. Seems to work fine.

That came out noticably just in time for the IE 9 beta as you will note. It went right on the 64bit version here.

just got a nice bugg in IE9,
after installing the voice and video plugin from gmail, my browser got mad slow,
now it takes over 7-12 sec to startup, the internet shortcuts that i have on the taskbar is even slower,
also they are not highlighted when startedup,
the window pos and size isn't saving, i have to start iexplore.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer to set up the pos and size of the browser,
not sure how to restore everything but i welcome suggestions,
b4 i installed googles crap, my browser had a startuptime of 0.6 sec

IE8 came pre-installed on my new computer. Had been using Firefox and Chrome on my XP. "Upgraded" to the IE9 beta. First time I've really used IE in about 3 years. It's not bad, but I find myself using Chrome about 90% of the time, even with IE9 as my default. Was having too many problems with Firefox on Windows 7 so I have totally dumped it. Tried Opera, don't even try to ask me about that mess.

The beta has started up slow at times here as well. So have some of the page on the Favorites bar. But some of that I also have to shift over to the time of day when the volume of people checking their emails and simply logging on at the end of a work day to that.

As for Opera who? The last pair of 10.xx releases with Unite have been a joke! I went back to the 9.64 version for having that one on at all. That and the 9.63 had been their best releases.

My interest of course having IE as the default to begin with is making the comparison between the beta and IE 8. Other then the few lags at times it's generally quite responsive. If it locks at all simply close it out and reopen it and it will be right back to normal from what I've been seeing so far with the beta.

Neowin.net - Google planning 60x faster Chrome 7 to hit back at IE9 beta

I was running the x64 IE9 beta, very happy with it. Suddenly it crashed, and will not start up (since the crash). The x32 seems to run ok, btw.

That's 60x faster than Chrome 6, not IE9. I'm sure IE9 is more than 60x faster than IE8.
