Internet Explorer 8

I had Internet Explorer 7 and had no trouble. I switched over to IE 8 and I'm having problems.

How can I get IE 7 back? I keep getting these messages.

[+1] - Robert Gentel - 08/29/2008Yeah, IE betas generally work this way (reverting to previous IE version). Normal IE installs don't show up as a program to uninstall that way at all.

Victor, just go to the add/remove programs panel in your Control Panel and uninstall IE8 Beta 1 ("remove") and it will revert to your previous version of IE.

You'll be fine. Internet Explorer is built into Windows and you aren't going to get rid of it that easily.

If you are that worried about having no functional browser, download another browser like Safari or Opera beforehand.
