DKTaber Thread Starter. Joined Oct 26, Messages 2, Have a friend with a new Toshiba laptop running Vista Home Premium unfortunately. I downloaded and installed IE8 production version, not beta or RC1. It doesn't work right. Some sites open with wing-dings on a white page. Can't do either. It's not there. If I try to download and install IE8, an error message says that a more up-to-date version of IE8 is already on the computer, so it refuses to install.

I have a custom-built desktop computer at home. If you have had all IE7 patches installed these keys contains total of several thousand values and will free up more than kb data from registry. This cleanup is also pretty easy to do manually if this doesn't make into CCleaner. But ill post this here anyway. If this was to be included, it should be defiantly placed in the Advanced section. I havne't tested it myself but it might be useful info for all us advanced PC users in the forum, and may not be a good idea for ccleaner.

I have done small scale checking, yes. More than once. It will take out a lot of left over crap files from old IE versions.

But not the roll-back files. Of cause. Removing the uninstall options is silly. Malware can make a reinstall of IE necessary. Locate the installation package in the folder in which you saved the files.

Note This package may be located in the Temporary Internet Files folder. To connect to the Microsoft download site, you must have a functional Web browser. If Internet Explorer 6 does not work on the computer after you uninstall the later version of Internet Explorer, you cannot download the Internet Explorer installation package.

Therefore, you will have to use a computer that has a functional Web browser to download the Internet Explorer installation package. Then, use a shared network drive to install the program from the downloaded installation package on this other computer onto the repaired computer.

If you cannot use a shared network for this purpose, copy the Internet Explorer installation package onto a CD on the second computer. Then, use this CD to install Internet Explorer on the first computer. If you need help about how to install, reinstall, or uninstall Windows, visit the following Microsoft Web site:.

This way, the webpages will display as how those are displayed in IE7. There are several options for browsers, from mozilla firefox to chrome, to opera, etc. May I ask why you want to go back to older internet explorer version? Try another browser, if you're looking for something more lightweight search for it!

That's why newer versions are better. Maybe you can change your browser. Alters like Chrome or Firefox. Din One yes uninstall and then install the new one Your IE version will become your previous version that you were using before you upgrade.
