Question

i recently upgraded to ie 7 and have been having problems

i want to try a new browser to see if that works but not sure how to
do so
any suggestions

Answer 1

Keep IE7 installed for Microsoft things like Windows Update, but don't use it. Try Firefox, it is the fastest browser IMO. Others will say Opera is better, and it is a nice browser. It all comes down to what you need it for.

Answer 2

Firefox is better than IE7, even if IE7 was working for you. It has like 10 times the features. When you get it loaded, and presuming you do not have troubles, make sure that you explore, especially the part marked bookmarks.

Answer 3

Make sure you do it this way to remove IE7

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 to return to Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP

Click "Start," and then click "Control Panel."
Click "Add or Remove Programs."
Check "Show Updates" at the top of the dialog box.
Scroll down the list and highlight the version of Internet Explorer 7 that you are running, and then click "Change/Remove."
Uninstall that,restart your PC and you are on IE6
