IE 8
As John Gilliver said in his reply; simply install Firefox then download your
Webshots software without the need to uninstall anything. You can then go back to using IE8 and if you get another similar problem - just open your Firefox browser instead. If you have two browsers on your PC then if you have a problem with one the other may well not have that problem. When I say install "Firefox", there are a number of good alternative browsers available : Firefox 3.5 : http://download.mozilla.org/?product...win&lang=en-GB Google Chrome : http://www.google.co.uk/chrome/eula.html Apple Safari (for XP) : http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ Opera 10.10 : http://www.opera.com/download/?os=wi...=10.10&local=y == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "bandi" wrote in message ... Is there any way to uninstall Internet Explorer 8? (If so what do I replace it with?) It's impossible to download the Screensaver software from Webshots because of SOME setting in IE8 and the only thing I know to do is to uninstall. I keep getting messages that the problem is with the Internet Explorer so don't think it's a firewall or anti-virus program. Help! |

IE 8
However, if you really want to uninstall IE8 then you should be able to do this
simply be going to "Control Panel" "Add or Remove Programs" and clicking on the "IE8" item and then answering "Remove". Once IE8 is uninstalled you could then re-install IE6 by downloading the setup file from : http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...S/ie6setup.exe == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) |

It's impossible to download the Screensaver software from Webshots because of SOME setting in IE8 and the only thing I know to do is to uninstall. I keep getting messages that the problem is with the Internet Explorer so don't think it's a firewall or anti-virus program. Help! Yes. Go back to the readme file or go to the site for the details. You'll end up back at IE6 when you're done; it was always there, and you don't have to do anything but remove IE8 per the instructions found for it. It doesn't sound to me that IE "mentioned" makes it surely an IE problem though. I've a feeling something else is going on, so don't be too surprised if going back to IE6 doesn't help it, but it might if you've accidentally added the site to your never-allow list. Can't hurt to try it; it's easy enough to reinstall. -- Live in the moment; be open to the possibilities that life has to offer. |
