How to uninstall IE8 from Windows XP Pro SP3 system?
IE8 does not appear in the list "Add / Remove Programs". Simple removal of icons is futile. REGEDIT is impossible - the entries simply re - appear. Otherwise only by formatting the hard drive or purchase is 3rd party software, there a way to get rid of IE8 and go back to IE7? I tried to download and install IE7, but it refusses to be installed because IE8 (or even traces of it) are installed on the system. I could, I suppose, pay $59 for an online chat with a tech from Microsoft somehow buit, I doubt that the expenditure would be worth it - I would get no response or, at best, no answer that works.
Hello
Click Start-> Control Panel-> Check for Updates-> View Update History-> installed updates
Click with the right button on IE8 and uninstall.
Good luck!

original title: links in e-mail newsletters don't work
I am using Windows XP Pro SP3. IE8 or FF8 can open all the links that appear in my subscription newsletters. The message I get is:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server...
Because this happens with both browsers, I suspect that some settings in Windows is the origin of the problem - maybe an update. Everyone knows about this type of behavior? Someone at - it suggestions for me?
Hello
This information should be useful.
1. the HOSTS file would have an impact on all browsers. If you do not deliberately use the HOSTS file to block some websites, run the FixIt in this article to reset (clear on) the HOSTS file.
How can I reset the default Hosts file? :
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/9720342 key is only, but go to Internet Options > privacy and try a cookie of low value or accept all.
3. from security on the IE command bar > InPrivate filtering settings, disable filtering.
Always safe > Filter SmartScreen > disable the SmartScreen filter.4 disable third-party security programs (antivirus, antispyware, firewall, etc.) * just long enough * to test some links.
5. similar to the #3, but more in depth...
