Default 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?

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.

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.)

Default 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.

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.
