How can i get windows internet explorer 7 out of my computer and download ie8?

It doesn't give me the option to add/remove it; it says used frequently!|||You don't remove IE7. You just upgrade to IE8.


I always go to www.filehippo.com for my free downloads. I have never had a problem with any attached spyware, trojans or viruses of any kind from their site. Most everything is free or free to try. They will always tell you in advance. Try it.|||If you download and install IE 8 it will upgrade your IE7 and replace it. You do not need to uninstall first.|||Just install IE8, it will update IE7|||if you go and download ie 8 then install it it will replace the older version|||You just download IE 8. It automatically upgrades from version 7. Here is the site to download it from:





http://www.microsoft.com/windows/interne鈥?/a>|||Simply start installation of IE 8 and it will take care of IE 7 for you.





But, why not simply use IE for M$ UPDATES and Firefox for everything else? Get Firefox here:





http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/sec鈥?/a>





...and be sure to get the WOT Add-on for both IE and Firefox, and NoScript for FF. NoScript is supposedly "working" on a version for IE. Get WOT for IE here:





http://www.mywot.com/





Get both those Add-ons for Firefox after installation by opening Tools%26gt;Add-ons%26gt;Get Add-ons%26gt;Browse All Add-ons and then do a search for each. Then you can shop all the rest of the FF Add-ons for even more very useful and even a lot of FUN Add-ons and 'build your own browser'! Have FUN!





Just an idea. I hope it helps. Good Luck!|||Hi, this is Feran with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team. As others said, downloading IE8 will automatically upgrade version 7. Also at this time if you download it from http://www.browserforthebetter.com?ocid=鈥?/a> Microsoft will donate the equivalent of 8 meals to the hunger-relief charity Feeding America.





Thanks,

How do i make my start menu and my IE8 menu appear and reappear?

a couple days ago i accidentally pressed something and my IE8 screen got big, because my IE8 menu and my start menu disappeared and every time i went to the top or the bottom of the screen they would reappear|||To maximize website viewing, the File menu may be hidden by default. Most menu options can be accessed from the toolbar. You can make the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, Etc.) appear by clicking the Tools menu, located near the upper right of the screen, and then Toolbars and then Menu Bar.|||Right click on a blank area of the Start Menu Bar, Choose Properties, and ckick on the Auto-Hide option to change its behavior.

How, if I can, do I downgrade from IE9 to IE8?

To make it short... IE9 sucks. It is just awful. I completely regret upgrading. Is there any way to downgrade to IE8? If you know anything, please tell me.|||It is pathetic and you can uninstall it if you upgraded from IE 8

Firefox is where it's at.

How can I reconfigure my IE8 menu/address bar?

I am using IE8 on Windows XP. How can I move the address bar next to the Help dropdown up top? I am trying to maximize my screen space by eliminating wasted space.|||you can't. I don't think that it's possible.


I've never been able to do that.

How to get the tabs bar up in IE8?

Up until last week I had a tabs bar in Internet Explorer 8 on my computer at work. Came in after the weekend and the tabs bar is gone, you can start new tabs but you have to access them through 'quick tabs' which is annoying.





Since my company is so freakishly strict with our comp settings they have disabled our access to 'internet options.





Any idea how to enable the tabs bar without going into internet options?|||Hi marcopolo,





If you cannot access the Settings, try these Hot Keys:





Ctrl + T = New Tab


Ctrl + K = Duplicate Tab


CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB = Switch between tabs


CTRL+9 = Switch to the last tab


CTRL+Q = Toggle Quick Tabs (thumbnail view) on or off





If you want to access your settings but do not have permission, you would have to ask your IT person to assist.





Best,


Rick

Everything stops downloading from the internet at 99% since downloading ie8?

I have recently downloaded ie8. Since then, I have not been able to download anything (firefox, ie7, aim, etc) without it stopping at 99%. I have turned all firewalls and antivirus software off. I have changed my internet security options. I have waited it out. What can I do?|||Uninstall IE and never acknowledge its existence again.





Install Firefox. Problem solved.








Edit: Just open up a windows folder and type in a web address in the address bar. It will load the site in the old IE6 because IE6 is integrated with XP.





You could also just download firefox prior to uninstalling IE8.

How do I delete IE8-does not support online banking?

Yahoo sent me email to upgrade to IE8 but does not work with any online banking sites-I NEED TO GET INTO MINE ASAP. I will follow your directions how to delete (I am 74 and need your help please). Sorry I did this now. Thanks.|||I would recommend keeping IE8 and downloading Firefox to do you online banking.|||Have you tried compatibility view mode? Click that "broken paper" icon on the right side of your address bar.





The website will reload and render in the older IE7 view mode, which should work for all websites.
