Transferring older IE?!!!!

ThePolishKid · 02-09-2008, 08:31 PM

The new internet explorer 7 SUCKS. Luckily I have an older verion on a different computer. But what do I need to transfer to make it work on the other computer?

You should be able to find a version on the internet.

Verve · 02-09-2008, 08:36 PM

first off, did you just install the new one? Did you get a new computer with it preloaded?

If you just upgraded, go to Control Panel > Add Remove Progams > Click show updates and find the one that says Internet Explorer 7. Uninstall it.

Alternatively you could just switch to Firefox which a ton of the members here use, maybe you could check it out: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

I personally installed the new one. I believe I had IE6 or even 5.5 which I need back. OldApps.com or whatever doesnt work meaning everything is compressed on top of being compressed. I love firefox, but some of the applications my mother uses she needs IE.

did you try uninstalling it?

ThePolishKid · 02-09-2008, 09:16 PM

If I uninstalled it, wouldnt that mean I would have nothing?

you should uninstall the update. It's reverting to the older version

lmao.. The IE 7 sucks so you're reverting to IE 6? IE 6 is horrible. It has more holes than swiss cheese. It's a terrible browser.

Then again, so is Firefox. Interestingly enough I was just at a service call the other day with a fellow that happened to be a webmaster. He was tauting Firefox, until I showed him what his site looked like in other browsers.

Needless to say, him and Firefox no longer see eye to eye (to say the least).

Firefox is complete, total, absolute garbage.

Aha... So stick like we people are, with IE 7 until 8 comes...
or either get Opera

uninstall 7 and it will automatically revert back to 6...don't worry

but don't user IE anyway...much better browsers: Firefox/Opera
