How do I Uninstall IE8 and re-install IE7?
by Adam Jackson - 10/1/08 9:50 AMI just installed IE8 and don't like the user interface...so I would like to uninstall it.
I am running Windows Vista SP1...but Microsoft doesn't have that option on their download page for IE7...

What did you think of it?
by Dango517 - 10/10/08 7:19 PM In reply to: How do I Uninstall IE8 and re-install IE7? by Adam JacksonWhy the roll back?
I thought it was faster but not ready for prime time.
It is supposed to be released in it's final form next month. I might wait a few months after it's release. 
I just wasn't used to it...
by Adam Jackson - 10/14/08 6:01 AM In reply to: What did you think of it? by Dango517There were features in there that I wasn't used to and they had switched around some components of IE7 that I had liked. They also need to fine-tune it a little more...make it faster...and clean up some of the features.
When the full release comes out, I'll try it again...
Try System Restore
by GENE8 - 10/11/08 12:40 AM In reply to: How do I Uninstall IE8 and re-install IE7? by Adam JacksonYou can try checking your System Restore to see if the restore point that you made when you installed IE8 is still in the calendar (it should be highlighted). If it is still there, then you can simply restore your system back to the earliest time BEFORE you installed IE8, whatever date that might be. Your system should revert back to IE7.
Will system restore take me back from IE7 to IE6?
by jill122 - 10/14/08 12:13 PM In reply to: Try System Restore by GENE8Everything is slower now -- my laptop is old and probably didn't need the aggravation of switching my browser. Type is almost impossible to read -- I want out. Can I restore my machine to the time before I did this idiotic thing?
Restore didn't work
by jill122 - 10/14/08 5:54 PM In reply to: Will system restore take me back from IE7 to IE6? by jill122I tried restoring all the way back to the furthest date on the calendar and it didn't work. Apparently I had a low-lying virus which I caught yesterday AFTER I downloaded IE7.
I went to microsoft -- they offer Explorer 6 SP1 - I'm running Windows XP SP2. If I download SP1, will I have lots of patches, etc. to download to get back to what I had?
To boxcarro. Post deleted.

IE-6
by homeydakine - 11/23/08 5:57 PM In reply to: How do I Uninstall IE8 and re-install IE7? by Adam JacksonWhen I uninstalled IE-6 my PC crashed & I had to do run a recovery disk. I do not recommend removal on this. Install another browser like i did.
uninstall ie8
by bossau1 - 4/1/09 6:55 AM In reply to: How do I Uninstall IE8 and re-install IE7? by Adam JacksonI wish to uninstall ie8 and reinstall ie7
windows xp professional Thanks
Same deal
by therebel292004 - 5/21/09 10:53 AM In reply to: uninstall ie8 by bossau1Pretty much I want to fix my messed up IE now. I had the IE7, installed IE8, but the Page and Tool menus didn't work right, font wouldn't show up in them. So I tried doing a restore, that didn't help. Just made IE7 shut down right after I try to open a window. I even tried removing ALL of IE from the program files, and then just reinstall IE7, but still shuts down right after I open it. I have Windows XP Home edition with SP3 installed. How can I fix this problem now? And just so you know, I can't use the Windows XP install disk to do repair cause it says I don't have access even though I'm the owner.
