| IE 8 too slow / wish to revert to IE 7 I have have continuous slow response in loading of web pages since install IE 8. Am running on a 5 meg internet connection and at times loading a simple Amazon page will take 85 seconds. Totally unacceptable when it was instantious with IE 7. How do I return to IE 7 as attempts to do so thru MS site informs me of a 2 hr plus download? Many thanks for your time and hopefully reply. -- Barron AKA drybones |

"In Windows Vista, Windows Internet Explorer 8 is not considered to be a program. Instead, IE8 is categorizing as an update. Thus, you might not be able to find Windows Internet Explorer 8 in Programs and Features of Windows Vista. To uninstall Internet Explorer 8, go to Control Panel, and click on Uninstall Programs link or Programs and Features icon. Then on Tasks pane on the left, click on View installed updates link. Locate and select Windows Internet Explorer 8 in the list of installed updates, and then click on Uninstall button. Click on Yes when asked that are you sure want to uninstall the update. Restart the computer." |

| Re: IE 8 too slow / wish to revert to IE 7 Hey Drybones, Had the same problem. IE8 was horribly slow and often timed out. I went back to a system restore point before the update was downloaded and now I'm back on IE7 and running fine. If you haven't had it too long you may be able to do the same. Keep in mind you may loose other stuff you have recently installed or get back something you have gotten rid of depending on how far back you go. -- CrashBandits Posted via [url]http://www.vistaheads.com[/url] |
