Is it possible to install IE9 on windows XP because listed under requirements is Windows vista? And if so, does synchronizing websites to make it available offline work in IE9 because it does not work in IE7? If not is there a way to unistall IE7 in windows XP because the upgrade is not listed in the add and remove programs (show upgrade) list, even under windows upgrade? Finally if there is no way to uninstall the upgrade, is there a way for me to download IE6 after I completely remove IE7? The objective here is to be able to view pages offline. Thank You. There is no Internet Explorer 9. The most recent version is 7. You should install IE 7 by following these directions /exactly/: http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install and by downloading the IE 7 installer from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx and installing directly from your hard disk, rather than installing through Microsoft Update? If not, you may have a damaged installation of Internet Explorer 7. In this event you may want to uninstall IE 7 (which returns you to IE 6) by following these directions /exactly/ http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html and then re-install IE 7 as above. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Is it possible to install IE9 on windows XP because listed under requirements > is Windows vista?

The problem is that synchronizing sites so they can be viewed offline does not work in IE7. I need to go back to IE6 but all the methods suggested in the threads on this site does not work. I cannot uninstall the version 7 without loosing the whole program. How do I go about acquiring IE6? Thank You. > There is no Internet Explorer 9.

What do you mean "losing the whole program"? If you uninstall IE7 through Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs, IE6 should automatically re-appear after you do the reboot.... > Is it possible to install IE9 on windows XP because listed under > requirements [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > The objective here is to be able to view pages offline.

Is this for current reality or are we restricted to discussing the future? ; ) FYI IE7 does not support *maintaining* pages offline but you *can* use it to view pages offline--at least in XPsp2, even if IE7 is installed. Does Vista still have the special folder %windir%\Offline Web Pages? That's how offline web pages can still be maintained in XPsp2. E.g. the folder contains nothing but a Desktop.ini file and any offline web pages shown in it are stored in the registry under this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Webcheck HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- > Is it possible to install IE9 on windows XP because listed under requirements > is Windows vista?

When I was doing product support I used to explain to customers who wanted me to get on a plane that if we only had Star Trek's transporter tubes I'd be happy to visit because I could be there "in a flash"... ; ) Robert --- Very fuuny guys. It was a simple mistake. Yes there is no IE9. My problem still exists though. And no, unistalling IE7 will not make IE6 reappear (magically). How do I sole my problem? > >>> Is it possible to install IE9 on windows XP because listed under requirements > >>> is Windows vista?

It did during the IE7 betas. Uninstalling IE7 resulted in IE6 reappearing. The OP should try uninstalling IE7. Mike >> > Very fuuny guys. It was a simple mistake. Yes there is no IE9.

In any case, I just uninstalled IE7, and IE6 DID reappear! So I have to believe that he did not try it. Mike ...or perhaps the OP was looking in Add/Remove for 'Internet Explorer' or 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' when the correct entry is for Windows Internet Explorer. IMO, another way Microsoft sacrifices ease of use to convince the courts that Internet Explorer really is part of the OS.

Add/Remove programs. You can uninstall IE7 (from XP, doubt Vista) just like any other app. Mike >> > Very fuuny guys. It was a simple mistake. Yes there is no IE9.
