"Upgraded" to IE7 - Back to IE6 - New Problem

[Guest]

Hello,

I stupidly upgraded to IE7 and I hated it. It was slow and confusing. Also,
I was unable to check my work e-mail from home with IE7. I did not know how
to go back to IE6, so I did a system restore to about a week before the IE7
download. I have IE6 back, but something is wrong with it. When I click on
the icon, my computer freezes. After about 3-4 minutes, the window finally
opens and I can navigate the web. However, every time I try a new page or
link, I get a temporary freeze. Any ideas? Thanks!

You should have uninstalled IE7 first. It was in the Add/Remove applet in the Control Panel.
Had you installed it, it would have restored IE6.
Now you have a mess.

You might try system restore back to a day after you installed IE7 and then try to uninstall it.
But that is a guess. I would wait for one of the MVPs to advise you.

As with W Update, I would have imaged the OS too. After all,
if they cant write install pgm correctly they probably cant
do any better on the uninstall!

Just my 2¢ worth. Larry

Any advise given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
