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.

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.

A dialog box will come up asking which you want to do (Import for you). Box will come up asking you where you want to save the list, etc.





It's very simple...|||Easy as pie. IE saves the Favorites as a regular HTML file. Either open it in a web editor and copy/paste the contents where ever you need to. Or, open the file in Word and all the links will be active and you can re-save file as a document/PDF/whatever. Any of those will allow you to copy/paste/print the links.





Alternative, is to display the Favorites in your browser and take a screen capture using a screen cature tool that will auto-scroll the window while capturing.

I'm NOT happy with my IE9 experiences! Among the differences in appearance and other 'minor irritants', ever since downloading IE9, I can't 'send' emails. Therefore, I desire to return to using IE8.|||I found two possible ways, step by step, but forgot to list the second source - my bad.





A: To uninstall Internet Explorer: (both Vista and Win 7)


**Note: A Tech Republic user (May 11) said there are problems just uninstalling, and you need to do a 'System Restore' back to before you installed Internet Explorer 9. **

2. Under Uninstall an update, scroll down to the Microsoft Windows section.


3. Right-click Windows Internet Explorer 9, click Uninstall, and then, when prompted, click Yes.


4. Click one of the following:


- Restart now (to finish the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 9, and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer).


- Restart later (to wait until you shut down or restart your computer).


5. After you uninstall Internet Explorer 9, the previously installed version of Internet Explorer will be available on your computer. It is not necessary to reinstall.





B: You can remove Internet Explorer 9 using the following steps.


1. Close all programs. (If you have any open)


2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.


3. Click Uninstall a Program under the Programs category


4. In the Tasks pane (the blue column on the left), click View installed updates.

7. Follow the instructions to uninstall Internet Explorer 9.


8. When the uninstall program is finished, restart your computer.


9. After you restart your computer, open Internet Explorer.


10. Click About Internet Explorer on the Help menu. If Internet Explorer 7 or 8 appears in the About Internet Explorer dialog box, then you have successfully completed the uninstall.

You can discover all these new features yourself by installing and using the latest IE.





Please upgrade your software if you were able to do so.|||You are not missing anything, just stick with the Firefox. My IE 8 locks up all the time. The Firefox, never.|||Yes, you are missing out on something. A little while back security experts advised all users of Internet Explorer to stop using it because of a big security hole.

You can cut down on your sign ins by filling in the box next to "Keep me sign in for two weeks" which you'll find on your Yahoo Log In page.





Be sure to fill in the box before you submit your log in for the day and this will help you out if you don't turn your computer completely off. As long as you Stand By or Hibernate, you'll cut down considerably on your sign ins.|||Glad to help, keep voting!

What do the Computer Gurus think of IE8?

Hey Guys. I am wondering what you all think of IE8. I am not sure if I love or hate it. It is definitely buggy, but that is to be expected. What do you all think of it.|||Previous versions of Internet Explorer had monstrous problems with viruses, malware and spyware. One of the reasons was because of the "ActiveX" installed into the browser. There was a lot that ActiveX did that would jeopardize the integrity of your system. Personally the only reason why IE is useful is to get firefox installed. Google chrome is good too and I have definitely used it before but until they add a few more features I will still continue to firefox purely for the security addons.





If you do decide to go with Firefox I would recommend getting the following addons:





adblock


flashblock


noscript





If you're really into security you can also get:





Trackmenot


WOT

What freeware addons are available for IE8?

I am considering switching back to Microsoft IE8. Are there any addons available for the browser?|||Internet Explorer add-ons have been introduced by Microsoft in the previous editions of Internet Explorer. Despite the claim they never managed to come close to the popularity and inventiveness of add-ons produced by the Mozilla Firefox community.



Microsoft鈥檚 Internet Explorer 8 introduced a set of new features (accelerators and web slices) that fall into the add-on category as well. The following article contains 8 sleeper Internet Explorer add-ons that can be useful for the majority of Internet Explorer 8 users.



We would also like to point out that this is already the second article about Internet Explorer 8 add-ons and that the first can be accessed at this link. (read: 10 Useful Internet Explorer Add-ons).



First a quick explanation about the different types of add-ons for Internet Explorer:



* Accelerators: Provide functionality directly on the website.

* Web Slices: Real time information that are displayed in Internet Explorer.

* Search Providers: These add-ons add new search engines to the web browser.



1. Job Search (Accelerator)



Will search for a selected job on thousands of websites including newspapers, job boards and company career pages.

2. Tweet Internet Explorer



Twitter add-on for Internet Explorer 8 that adds a button to the toolbar which, when pressed, opens a popup window that allows to post status updates to Twitter.

6. Find on Last.fm



Will search for the selected text on the popular music community portal Last.fm

7. LastPass Password Manager



LastPass is an online password manager that provides access to interesting features like password generation. It is available for multiple web browsers.

8. Open It Online Lite

http://www.ieaddons.com/en/





IE 8 Accelerators:


http://www.ieaddons.com/en/accelerators/|||Use Accelerators to speed up your work



Accelerators are add-ons for IE8 that let you quickly do a variety of tasks based on text you select on a web page: get a stock quote, look up the definition of a word or phrase, map a location, convert currencies, share selected text on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, create a shortened URL, search for a product at an online shopping site and much more.



Select any piece of text on a web page, and the Accelerator button, that has an arrow pointing to the right-corner on it, will pop up; click that button to see the Accelerator menu. (You can also access Accelerators on the right-click contextual menu.)



Some Accelerators show their results in a pop-up window, while others appear in a new tab.



IE8 comes with several built-in Accelerators, but third-party developers are already starting to produce a wide range of new ones that you can install yourself. Go to Microsoft's Accelerator Gallery to see the available options.

Bookmark info with Web Slices



Another add-on that's new in IE8 is the Web Slice. Web Slices allow you to subscribe to a frequently updated part of a web page, such as sports scores, headlines or current weather - if the site's developers have designated that part of the page as a Web Slice. (Most websites are not Web Slice-enabled at this time.)



When a page you're viewing contains a Web Slice, a green icon appears on the toolbar next to the Home icon, as shown to the right. The same icon appears next to the Slice-ready content on a web page when you mouse over it. Click the icon in either location to see a dialog box asking if you want to add the content to your Favourites bar.



Adding a Web Slice places a button on your Favourites bar that opens a small drop-down box with the updated information from the original page, so you can check the weather, traffic or anything else without interfering with whatever else you're doing in your browser.



Once you've added a Web Slice, updated content is always available from your Favorites bar.



A selection of Web Slices can be found in Microsoft's Add-On Gallery, but Web Slices are easy to create - watch for the green Web Slice icon to start popping up all over the web.

I don't know what else to do, can someone help me, I just want to go back to IE7. Thanks in advance|||To revert back to IE7 from IE8:

First try the Add or Remove Programs route.But you say there is no option to remove IE8 so you might have installed SP3 after upgrading to IE8. If that is the case then you will have to unistall SP3 first then remove the IE8sp then when you have IE7 back reinstall SP3.



You might first try the alternative method of removal:

Open the run dialog box or

the cmd prompt and copy and paste the following line:



%windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe



That will attempt to uninstall the IE8sp using the IE 8 servicepack uninstall utility.

If that fails then uninstall SP3 then remove IE8 then get SP3 again. But when you get updates again be sure to look at the list of updates and deselect the IE8 or it may upgrade it again.



Hope that helps|||I'm curious if that worked for you...


Maybe since you never returned it hosed it and now you don't have any browser at all??? If it did then go to add remove windows components and check the InternetExplorer box and save it and it will re-install IE...

What is the best internet web browser? I have IE8 but should I change?

What is the best internet web browser? I have IE8 but should I change?|||People that use Firefox will swear by it. It is true that in the past, Firefox is probably safer than IE7. However, Microsoft has by and large closed off existing security holes when they release IE8. So now it's mostly a matter of speed and features, when it comes to choosing which browser to use. Depending on whom you listen to, IE, Firefox, and Google Chrome are the "best", and everybody has their own reasons. What tips the balance for me iin favor of IE8 is that there are still certain web sites that are only designed for IE, and may not appear correctly if you use other browsers. For example, the Microsoft Update web site (surprise, surprise!) won't work with Firefox, and probably not with Chrome either. So if you have to have a single web nrowser, then IE8 is probably the best bet.

It does make more sense that these banners would only display on those browsers needing updating. However, it may be that our firewalls and or virus protection software, or even that we're cleaning old files off from disk drive--as we should, makes better guess of reason, and 'could' explain the IE8 ads displaying. That our browser cookies are gone, cleaned during file management type maintenance that Yahoo site cannot detect properly that our version code is updated. Therefore, the default displays this ad; IE8 detection being less than positive--creates ad.





I offer my suggestions since your question has not drawn a more definitive sounding answer than this guess of mine, having wondered about this as well.

How can I upgrade when IE8 is not available to Windows 7 ultimate?

How can I upgrade toolbar with IE8?|||Windows 7 comes with IE8. Not sure what you are asking.

You stated that my laptop system cannot support the new IE8, but I have a windows vista 64 bit?

I have a Hp Pavilion dv9830us Notebook Pc, why wont the new IE8 work ?|||your notebook should be fully compatible to new internet explorer 8., having windows vista 64 bit installed.


For windows vista 32 bit %26amp; 64 bit there are different versions of internet explorer 8,for download.





Select your operating system and download internet explorer 8.for windows vista 64 bit

Recently downloaded ie8 why does phishing filter turn itself off when i start to browse the web.?

when i first start to browse the web in ie8 my norton 360 phishing filter turns off,but when i press fix it stays on till i close and reopen my web browser then the same happens again( i recently downloaded ie8).


Since i have heard this download can cause certain programmes to crash,is this true?|||you obviously do not understand what the word BETA means,


beta products are for testing purposes only and should never be installed on your main computer.


ie8 is a beta product.


unless you are capable of repairing the damage beta products can, and probably will do to your computer,


then i suggest you uninstall it now.


if you choose to ignore this advice then i do not hold out much hope for the life of your computer.


the same holds true for ALPHA programs too.|||You may be having a virus or spyware installed on your PC. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software.

|||Well IE 8 is beta software so crashing and abnormal behavior isn't a surprise... Look at the stuff Microsoft puts out as a gold release, it's still buggy too
