Before upgrading a colleague's PC to XP SP3 (she currently is at SP2), I
would like to downgrade IE from 7 to 6. Then once she is running SP3, I
would *then* like to upgrade to IE7.
I tried the downgrade via Add or Remove Programs. Perhaps because she
had the intrusive Alot toolbar installed, the downgrade broke IE. Using
System Restore was no help. Fortunately I had imaged the hard drive
beforehand, so I restored the image.
I have now uninstalled both Alot and the Google Toolbar. But still I am
concerned. A window comes up after I choose to uninstall IE7 with the
message:
"The following programs were installed on your computer after Internet
Explorer:"
There are *many* entries listed, most of them security updates for
Windows XP or Windows Internet Explorer 7. There are a few other
entries, including Java 6 Update 5 and MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB954430).
Is it safe to proceed, or is there a risk without removing certain
updates or programs first? I'm having a case of once bitten, twice shy!
TIA.
