How do I reload Explorer 6 and dump 7. Explorer 7 is extremely slow to boot
and I consistently get 'this page cannot be displayed'. This has been going
on since I 'upgraded' to 7. I have another PC running on the same router with
Explorer 6 with no probs at all.

Click to expand...

Simply removing it via add/remove programs should auto-revert back to IE6.

Yes, it will revert to IE6 okay but there are all kinds of
entries with IE7 values left in the registry. Talk about poor
uninstallers...Microsoft should know better.
