Use this Microsoft Fix it automated soltion to remove IE8 if you need to. But if you are only having problems with certain Web sites, you might want to try Compatibility View first. Resetting Internet Explorer can also solve some problems and avoid uninstalling

Hi,

For the past two weeks, I've been trying to install Internet Explorer 8 on the vista and I always encounter errors while downloading it.  What should I do to make it right?

Oh, this is priceless. Was it put out April 1?

When I use IE 7 installed on my new HP Touch Screen all in one. Not all pages open when they are supposed to. Various error messages appear.

If at at one site and  they have a link to another- it won't op[en that second page????

Can't install encarda 22206 on my vista pc

After installing IE8 it failed when starting with multiple protection errors. uninstalled it and reinstall it again with the same exact failures on startup of the application.  Removed IE 8 and reinstalled IE7 with application failing to install because it found IE 8 and IE 7 already install.  Removing IE via the control panel failed.

Removing IE 7 & 8 manually and re-installing it looked good, but IE 7 would not start.  All the Microsoft fixes were tried and retried and  failed to resolve the problem. No IE version worked after the initial install of IE 8.   Interestingly Safari and  Mozilla continue to work just fine.  

I guess this is another good example of MS releasing untested software on the customer base expecting them to debug your products and pay the price.  I guess there were no lessons learned by MS from Vista, Access 2007, etc, et al..

I enjoy using the Microsoft FixIT.
