How do I Revert Back to IE-7? XP-MCE user.

IE-8, to me, is slow - long time to load. -7 was a breeze.

Good Morning Alan: Followed instructions to remove Windows IE 8 when
used with XP. Quess what? No REMOVE button. All other listed
programs above and below have said button.

Nothing else running.

Suggestions, Pls.

Tks

Wayne

Perhaps SP3 was installed after the IE8?

If you installed IE8 after SP3 you will need to uninstall SP3 first, before
you can uninstall IE8..... (AFAIR)

I think you meant "before SP3" not "after SP3"

You would be much wiser to solve why it is slow rather than reverting back
to IE7.
Millions are using IE8 without problems.

Which was installed first, WinXP SP3 or IE7?

As I recall, XP first. What level IE would "come along" with XP?

Chances are XP then IE7, most recently IE8. Sometime when XP was
installed, SP3 was added.

How convoluted this all is!!

A wise thought. From Square 1, IE8 was slow(er). Thought that
reverting might be the obvious way out. Maybe not.

What is a sound way to find out why IE8 is slow(er)?

Thank You,
Wayne

http://www.thewindowsclub.com/run-in...o-add-ons-mode

Some users have complained that Spybot Search & Destroy interferes with
IE8's built-in filtering.

From the same page:

Alternative steps for Windows XP or for Windows Server 2003

To uninstall Internet Explorer 8, follow these steps:

1. Carefully select and then copy the following command:

%windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe

2. Click Start, and then click Run.

3. In the Open box, type Cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.

4. Right-click inside the Cmd.exe window, and then click Paste to paste
the command that you copied in step 1.

5. Press ENTER to uninstall Internet Explorer 8.

6. When the uninstall program is finished, restart your computer.

As others have mentioned, SP3 complicates everything. Typically, XP
ships with IE6 (unless the OEM customized your installation). Best
practice is to install SP3 and *then* upgrade to either IE7 or IE8.
Depending on when you upgraded to SP3, you may need to uninstall it
before uninstalling IE8.

One scenario:

Your PC came with XP at the SP2 level. And the browser was IE6. At some
point you upgraded to IE7. Then you upgraded to SP3. Then you upgraded
to IE8. (Not the best way. Once more, the best way is to leave IE at IE6
level and *then* upgrade to SP3. Once this is done, one may upgrade to
either IE7 or directly to IE8.) If this scenario is yours, hopefully the
method at the top of my post will work for you.

Another scenario:

SP3 was the last thing intalled. If this is the case, uninstall SP3
before you do anything else.

Check for things running in the background. Shut down virus scanners. Use
Windows firewall only.
