Anyone know hot to switch back to Internet 6?

Question

I want to go back to my old internet because I do not like the new internet 7. Even when I go to the control panel an remove it and go to install Internet 6, it still says there is a newer version installed on my computer.

Answer 1

You should only have to uninstall IE7, not re-install IE6. If you have already uninstalled IE7, just try running IE6 from the desktop or the start menu. It should work fine and you don't need to go back into Control Panel --> Add/Remove to reinstall IE6.

Answer 2

The following is an article written by Microsoft on how to restore Internet Explorer 6. Here is the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177

Answer 3

I went to Control Panel, Add/remove programs, and went down the list of installed programs to Internet Explorer 7. I clicked on "remove" and it said "are you sure" I said "yes", and it uninstalled the IE7 components, and left Internet Explorer 6 on my computer with no problems.

Answer 4

Uninstall 7 and it should roll back to 6.

Answer 5

Why don't you just forget Internet Explorer and go to www.mozilla.com and download the free Firefox. It is much better than IE with less virus hassle.
