downloading new explorer ver. 7?

Question

My computer is setup to do automatic downloads from Microsoft. Last week the new Explorer 7 was downloaded to me. After installing and rebooting I signed on to my computer and it was about one step faster than frozen. I then un-installed the new ver. and re-installed my orginal software.
MY QUESTION IS : I STILL have the 'install' icon in the lower bar (next to the time) & it keeps asking if I am ready to do the update.
SO HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS ICON??
ALSO, has anyone else done this update and had the same results???
THanks for any and all help!

Answer 1

Click the little shield in the SysTray and when it pops up, select Custom and then uncheck the box - it will prompt you for a response for something like, Do not prompt for install again or something like that. I have IE 7 on all my computers and have had no problems at all with it - yes I am a real geek, I have a total of 8 computers in my house (3 laptops and 5 desktops). All running Windows XP except one which is Win2000. hope this helps...

Answer 2

I absolutely HATED explorer 7....

I'm not sure how to solve your problem, but I wouldn't doubt if Explorer 7 its self its the problem.

I had nothing but problems on both my computers after installing that...Good Luck
