Internet Explorer 8

[Doug Mc]

I've been having IE8 problems. Did a System Restore and got it back but the
tool bar is crazy.
For instance, I don't have Favorites anymore.

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Doug

Is Comcast freebie Norton Security Suite installed and was the previous
Comcast freebie McAfee Security Center installed before that?

Has another Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer?

Did a Norton or McAfee free-trial come preinstalled on the computer when you
bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.)

Yes. Remove IE8 ad use IE7 or use a different browser since IE8 is
known to have way too many issues on WXP.

 

[Doug Mc]

As well as I remember I can say NO to each of your questions.

 

[Doug Mc]

I thought about that but I don't know how to uninstall IE8.
Can you give me some hints??

Thanks,
Doug

There are very few people that have issues with IE8 on XP, and most of
those are related to a specific Website that isn't geared up for IE8 yet.

If you still want to remove it:

I would have a look here and perhaps reinstalling will solve your issues.

Remove IE8 and restart twice.

Download IE8 to your Desktop. Do not use Windows or Microsoft Updates.

anti-virus program and any spyware or spam programs you may have. If you

twice and then make sure your disabled programs are running again.

Thanks Bruce,
I tried to download IE8 as you suggested but it didn't download - even after
clicking the "click here if download doesn't start in 30 seconds."

Any way to get around this?

I don't know. I just tried it myself (choosing Save) and the download
started promptly. Never even saw a: "click here if download doesn't start
in 30 seconds" warning.

Did you remove IE8 and reboot already? Reboot and try again.

Can't remove it. Goes so far and gets an error - can't find some file......

I just turned it off - for about a minute to chase all the worms out - and
then turned it back on..
I'll try again.

Got down to "Copying files" and got an error on "Can't find hmmapi'dll.mui"

I have seen you, Doug. Unfortunately, with MS migrating from newsgroups to
forums, the newsgroups have slowed down considerably. Someone you
recognize will probably see this post and reply, but since we are back and
forth, and the forums take much longer to answer, we aren't in the
newsgroups as much as before.

Just a few weeks ago I wouldn't have even considered answering your post
as someone with more expertise in this area would have already done so.
