H.264 Video Decoder for Win 7 SP1

[Crash2009]

You guys told me to be cautious with updates so I shut them off. This one looks interesting, allthough for some reason I am reluctant to install it. WMC and my Echo's have been running so well lately, I don't really want to rock the boat. I suppose I should re-image and try it out. Yea? or Nay?

If it ain't broke...

I've never had an issue with updates and have my HTPC auto update. My system has been rock stable for a couple of years and it runs 24/7 as a DVR.

This is part of the platform update for Win 7 SP 1 that installs some Win 8 modules mainly to allow installation/use of IE10. I installed it with no issues.

[newfiend]

I applied the updates as well as IE 10 on the HTPC last night w/o issue as well.

[Crash2009]

I made an image, applied the updates. WMC and Echo's are still working. Thanks for the nudge. How do I jump start the IE10 download?

Thanks. Painless!

Spellchecker just started working, well sort of. Doesn't offer any suggestions, but at least it highlights spelling mistakes. Did this start happening as a result of IE 10 ? or has TheGreenButton just started this?

It's always done that for me in Chrome. On Win 8 I use Chrome and my Win 7 boxes with IE 10 are the HTPCs so I don't do any browsing on them; so I couldn't tell you.

IE10 is supposed to have spellchecking - it's also supposed to auto-correct, which can be a real pain in technical groups where jargon is "corrected" in unanticipated ways!

IE is definitely a bit late to this particular feature - it was one of the things that prompted me to migrate to Firfox a long time ago (vertical tabs was the other major feature - it's the main reason IE10 still isn't my go-to browser in Windows 8. My screen is much wider than any web page needs, so I have plenty of room for tabs down the side, and it makes more space at the top so that my pages are longer).

I see, underline in red if there is no suggestion, and will automatically change the word if it thinks it knows it.

Bummer - I hope that can be turned off.

Stop Spellchecker from correcting.

Haven't found an off button yet. However right-click gives a few choices http://www.geek.com/articles/news/inter ... y-2011119/

Looks like that just tells IE to not correct future occurrences of that particular mis-spelling, it doesn't turn auto-correct off entirely).

I'm all in favour of red or green squiggles warning me that I fat-fingered something (a not infrequent occurrence), but I like to make my own corrections, thank you very much. That way I might even learn that there are 2 r's in occurrence!)

Havn't tried it yet, but it appears that I can turn it off using.....Tools>>Manage Add-ons>>Spelling Corrections

I think I might have screwed up the IE10 install. Anybody else seeing this? When I go to Upload attachment here at thegreenbutton, the Upload File Box has a black line at the top, and on the left. To me, it looks like a video card problem.

Then, when I click Browse, I am unable to see all my folders that are normally in My Pictures. Such as, the folders named ECHO_UPGRADE and cableCARD.

I just checked my other Win 7-64 box which has installed the Platform Upgrade but not IE 10, and it does not exhibit this behavior.

Strange Huh? I sure was liking that spellchecker.

[Crash2009]

I uninstalled IE 10 through Programs and Features. IE 9 came back automatically. The black lines in the Upload attachment box have disappeared. The missing folders, while trying to upload, in My Pictures, (ECHO_UPGRADE and cableCARD) have not re-appeared. However, if I click on "Arrange By: Month, Day, Rating or Tag" I can get to the files inside ECHO_UPGRADE and cableCARD folders. Just can't see the folders when trying to upload.

[Crash2009]

All fixed. Did a Restore. Everything is back to normal.
