Found this on www.betanews.com (http://www.betanews.com)

"1. Download http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5/55pprevu/5.5/W9XNT4/EN-US/ie5setup.exe from Microsoft's download server.

2. Run the setup file you just downloaded, but do not click past the first screen.

3. Instead, click on the Start menu, then Search, and finally 'For Files or Folders...'

4. Search for the file 'iesetup.inf' - most likely located within C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\IXP000.TMP - and open the iesetup.inf file for editing.

5. Within the iesetup.inf file, under the section [Strings] you will find two values, URL2 and MSSITEURL, both equal to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie55/download/rtw/x86/ie5sites.dat. Change both of these so they are equal to c:\ie5sites.dat instead.

6. Create a text file in your root C:\ directory named ie5sites.dat and within it, place the following line, including quotes:

"http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5/55pprevu/5.5/W9XNT4/EN-US/","Download Site 0","EN","North America"

Press enter to get your cursor on a new line below, then save and exit the file.

7. Continue the IE 5.5 Active Setup program you had running to finish installing the Platform Preview. "


It worked for me

I personally hate being an MS beta tester - one reason I still use IE4.02 SP2. Let 6 million other test animals find the errors that go into the first service pack /forum/wink.gif

I had about 1/3 the crashes after I "upgraded" to ie5. And I'm hooked on auto complete now....there's no going back. Ha, it's always the little things huh? 5.5 looks identical too me. Although I have seen a few stange things...pages not loading correctly the first time around. I'll load 5.01 back in a bit....I just wanted to check it out.

I've NEVER had a crash with Internet Explorer
NEVER..... I use Netscape http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm happy with IE 5.01 since it doesn't crashes or hangs-up as frequently as IE 5.0 with my banshee...

But still have netscape installed and in-top shape... just in case

5.01 is the best yet. I grew up on IE and never got used to Netscape. Netscape must be even better now that AOL owns it? Right? Haha!

MS is finally getting this right.
