Vista ie7 is not usable with ebay. Trying to display a list of items causes
it to crash. I downloaded Firefox with no display problems however when doing
a print runor print preview not all pages are displayed. Any suggestions of
how to make ie7 work with ebay?

Never had any problems here. Check that your Java is the latest:
http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp and I'm not sure if they use
Flash/Shockwave, but you might as well check that those are up to date:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
Uninstall any old version via Start/Control Panel/Programs/Uninstall a
Program.
You also might want to ensure that IE7 is default settings by going to
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and click Reset, then reboot. You may have
to re-enable some add-ons after doing that (Tools/Manage Add-Ons).

Your post contains a question, not a suggestion.

=> Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;

2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

=> Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?

Perhaps this isn't the correct place to have this topic? or to post
problems/bugs with IE7? But since the topic is already here, and the only hit
on google for this issue, I'll add to it a bit... if it helps make the topic
more relavent though I'll suggest the problem gets fixed ;-)

I also have issues with ebay and IE7 on Windows Vista. I've made sure that
any add-ons such as the jre and any flash/shockwave etc are up to date, I've
also tried running IE7 in no add-ons mode with no success, and made sure all
settings were on default by using the reset procedure suggested.

IE doesn't usually crash for me so much as become sluggish and stop
responding (though I do not get the application has stopped responding
dialogue). More specifically, the forward and back buttons stop working, I
cannot open new tabs or switch between tabs, opening links becomes very
sluggish (not a connectivity problem), and I cannot min/max/close IE. There
may be other symptoms, but at this point it becomes too difficult to use IE
and I must open the task manager to close the program. Interestingly enough,
the forward and back options on the right-click menu will continue to work
even though the gui buttons in the upper left do not. I do this until the
right-click menu starts taking too much time to appear and then I'll give
up... I seem to experience this problem more when logged into my account and
opening up seller/buyer ratings in new tabs. The task manager reports that IE
is using 60% of my CPU wich is an AMD X2 6000+ and approx 60mb of memory. The
CPU usage seems a bit excessive, and the memory usage seems high for only
having 2-3 tabs open. On sites where I don't have this issue, I have
difficulty approaching 30% CPU usage, and can only mimmick the memory usage
by opening up quite a few tabs. I've experienced this problem on 3 computers,
on both 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista, including a fresh installation.

This may well be an eBay specific issue. The new site which is Beta is a
resource hog, at least from my experience. Most of the time, if I want to
minimize, close, or go back to my home page, I have to wait for the site to
settle down.

eBay has a Post Questions link for the new site, and I made this comment to
them a few months ago. No response.

When in My eBay, See: Go to previous version of eBay and Opt Out. (You can
always go back). See if this helps. I doubt it is an IE7 problem.

Thanks for the quick reply! I don't believe I'm currently using the beta
version of "My Ebay", but I'll certainly try to get into contact with them
about the issue and see if that gets me anywhere.
