In a weak moment I have unfortunately upgraded to IE v7. The first user works fine, but the second user hangs every time I try and load it. Using right click and run without add-ons it works, but I cannot "manage add-ons" as the hang prevents closing accept by power down and rebooting. It will take hours to find the offending add-on; if that is what is causing the problem. Anyone else in the same boat? Can I really just "remove" v7 to recover the previous version?

You can remove it in add or remove remove programs tick the box at the top to show updates and then uninstall it , it will automatically go back to IE6

did the same thing myself the other day I have both xp and 98se on my PC loaded the IE7 on the xp nothing but error messages every time I tried to go on line so I rebooted onto my 98 SE that was still running IE6 and it gave me no problems so I can only assume the IE7 is the problem just by reason of elimination so after me little experiment went back into xp and did a system restore to an earlier date before the ie7 was installed and now it seems to be OK again maybe a coincidence cos I am a bit of a newbie to this sort of thing but none the less it now works as it did before the "upgrade?" I have probably done something absurd I had terrible probs with my other PC after deleting something important and did the system restore thing and now that is running like a racehorse again probably fatally crash in the morning still it has been OK for 2 weeks now so wish me luck !!!

I have had a lot of trouble with IE "hanging" especially when trying to open any sort of link in an e-mail - not only when I downloaded IE7 (twice) but even still after removing it and going back to IE6.
I followed someone else's suggestion to download Mozilla Firefox, and have this as well as IE6 on my PC now. It works fine for most things, although the print looks a bit jumbled-up on some pages.

stay faraway from IE7-it led to all varieties of laptop issues for me. I put in Mozilla Firefox and that's astounding i've got no longer had any issues in any respect like I did with the internet Explorer
