I installed Internet Explorer 7 awhile back and never had any problems with it until just the other day when windows decided to run it's lovely updates and now everytime I attempt to get on the internet an error page pops up. The only way I can access the internet is through safe mode. Help! If I remove IE 7 will I be able to use the internet? And what is another browser I can use that is more reliable than IE 7?

try to use your system restore, restore it before the update took place. if you uninstall your IE you can reinstall it or use other internet browser like firefox,netscafe,msn exporer etc., by the way removing IE doesn't effect your internet connection, you still can chat on the messenger, download files from p2p but you cannot browse any site without any internet browser.

With as many IE7 glitches as I've heard about, quite frankly IE6 is a more reliable browser. :-P But, dropping the editorializing and getting to your question ...
If you uninstall IE7 (Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs), your computer will roll itself back to IE6. And yes, you'll still be able to get online.
Another possibility is to download the latest free version of Firefox. But since it looks like IE7 has messed up your connection, you need to get that fixed first.
Still another possibility: do a system restore to a point before you downloaded the latest round of updates. That should get IE7 working again. Then, when Windows once again offers you the updates, use the Custom mode and decline the update for IE7.
Hope that helps. Good luck!

Go back to IE 6 ; MS.com has a removal tool for IE 7.
You might want to see if there is a PC version of SAFARI for good browsing; Ah well, after a searchm looks like Safari is just for MAC at this stage

Ok go back to safe mode, and go to control panel, click on Add/Remove programs. Uninstall IE7 but before you do that, make sure you go to firefox.com and download their internet browser, install it and then uninstall IE7. Restart your computer and you should be up and running again BABY!

You can roll back to IE6. The quickest way is to go to Systems Restore and restore it to a few days back. If you want other browsers then there's a lot out there. Firefox, Netscape, Opera, MSN, etc.

If you try uninstall IE7, you'll still have IE6 (assuming you aren't using Vista). That said, I'd suggest moving to either Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com) or Opera (http://www.opera.com). Opera's faster and full-featured, but Firefox is more streamlined and feels a bit more like what you've probably used in the past.

I myself hate using Internet Explorer, I would recomend Mozilla or Opera as internet browsers (I use Mozilla myself).

Go to your Add/Remove programs and find IE7 in the list.
Remove it and your IE6 will be back in place.
http://www.opera.com for the Opera browser

I don't know if you can remove IE7 or not, but don't worry about it. Just don't use it.
Use Firefox instead. You, and everyone else, need to be using it instead anyways.
