Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2008How to return to V6
Although V7 beta has some useful features, several websites are not working for me. What is the proper procedure for removing V7 beta and going back to V6? > Although V7 beta has some useful features, several websites are not > working for me.

Many of the problems with sites not rendering as expected are because webmasters have not (yet) updated their code to take account of the fact that IE7 conforms more closely to CSS standards than IE6 and the code hacks used for IE6 don't work for IE 7. Understand that the websites are the problem, not IE7 Beta3, Gordon.

But for IE V7, in add/remove programs, all I can select is, "Click here for support information" Have they disabled my ability to remove the program?? > Uninstall from Control panel -> Add/Remove Programs. If you installed Service Pack 3 after you installed IE 7 you have to uninstall SP 3 first before you can uninstall IE 7. P.S. It's called Windows Internet Explorer now, not Microsoft Internet Explorer like in the old days. Maybe they thought that if they got rid of "Microsoft" people would forget who created IE 7. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Uninstall doesn't work on my system for V7, although it does work for other > programs.

Damn Microsoft! Now we will be faced with people unable to distinguish between the web browser ("Windows Internet Explorer") and the file manager ("Windows Explorer"). Along with the "Outlook/Outlook Express", and "Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail" confusion.
