IE 8
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! |

You're certain that Internet Explorer 8 is causing your problem...or
just guessing? Maybe you should ask Webshots technical support for help? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est On 12/17/2009 1:07 PM, bandi wrote: Is there any way to uninstall Internet Explorer 8?

No, I'm sure it's Internet Explorer. I've had error messages that mention
IE. I must have something checked that shouldn't be in Internet Options. The tech support for Webshots isn't much help. Been there many times. "Leonard Grey" wrote in message ...

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! I don't know about _removing_ it, but you could install another browser (Firefox is popular). Most browsers, including IE itself and Firefox, notice when you run them that they are not the default browser, and offer to make themselves the default. Once you've done that, go to the page you're trying to download from, but using the other browser. (The people who made 98lite had a standalone utility called IEradicator, which did just that - but I've no idea whether it works with [a] versions of IE later than about 5 [b] XP at all.) -- J. P.

IE 8
Leonard, after going to Webshots and opening many windows at their site I
saw several error messages that warned me of what I finally decided was ActiveX controls that IE was trying to protect me from. I don't need or want their protection. Would like to go ahead and install Active X. Will work on that next. "Leonard Grey" wrote in message ...

Hello,
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700 [ How do I uninstall or remove Internet Explorer 8? ] Or you can just install Firefox - http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ - and run it alongside IE8.
