square). IE10 on my Win7 unit loads web pages slightly faster, any pages not compatible with IE10 (few for me) operate in
Compatibility mode). A few of those pages that do operate in compatibility mode display with a slightly different text size than
they did in IE9 but not a concern for me since text size is still an available option on the settings icon or menu View tab.
Beyond the above, I'm not seeing anything that stands-out as a problem. It works with all my regular web sites (Home page, Search,
Financial, News, etc.) with one exception...videos on Major League Baseball (dot.com) play fine but seem to take slightly longer
when initially caching the content.
Apart from the visual style of the window’s elements (tabs, scroll bars, …), there’s not a lot of difference. Supposedly IE10 is
faster and leaner than IE9, but I haven’t really noticed. There should be no adverse effect to the upgrade, unless you strongly
dislike the disappearance of the tabs’ rounded corners and of the rounded aspect of the scroll bar handles.

I think it's a little faster than IE9 but structurally didn't see any
real difference. I've only run across one website where I had to click
the compatibility icon to get the page to load correctly. Been using for
a couple of weeks at work & at home.

Seems OK. I think that the only thing you need be concerned about was
the original requirement to download and install the Windows Update
KB2670838 before installing IE10 on Win7. That update royally screwed
up quite a few computers and has effectively been withdrawn. I believe
that you can now install IE10 on Win7 without needing that WU at all.

We installed it yesterday.
The first webpage visited, a page often visited previously and with no
problems, was broken! (Drop down menus would not work)
We did not think at the time to click the compatibility view button and
years ago we chose not to allow IE to select compatibility view
automatically.
So we rolled back the system to get rid of IE10.
but given the above I guess we'll have another try when it becomes a
critical update, if it is not already.

My brother installed IE 10 on his Win7HP 64bit system and couldn't connectpjp said:
to a couple of secure financial sites. He then switched to FF and had no
problem. I had him switch to 64bit mode (Advanced tab, something about
Enhanced)) but he hasn't tried those sites since.
Any ideas why those sites wouldn't load with IE 10 when they worked just
fine with 64bit IE 9.

It's there. "Internet options>Advanced" opens a list of check boxes.Robin said:
"Security" is
the last category within that list, and "Enable Enhanced Protected Mode"
is the
12th check box in that category.

It's called "Integrated Windows Authentication" on IE10 on my machine.

Integrated Windows Authentication:
cf. https://www.microsoft.com/technet/p...IIS/523ae943-5e6a-4200-9103-9808baa00157.mspx
<qp>
With Integrated Windows authentication (formerly called NTLM, and also known as Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication), the
user name and password (credentials) are hashed before being sent across the network. When you enable Integrated Windows
authentication, the client browser proves its knowledge of the password through a cryptographic exchange with your Web server,
involving hashing.

No it's not. Enhanced Protected Mode and Integrated Windows Authentication are two unique and different features.

Thanks for the clarification but it's still the 12th item on the list in
my 32bit version of IE10.

According to Winston it's a 64-bit IE10 feature.

In the upcoming Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2, the only thing that enabling Enhanced Protected Mode
does is turn on 64bit Content Processes. But, when running on Windows 8, the EPM option provides even more security by also causing
