This nightmare-ish browser has done it again. It caused severe problems.
As you may know, I couldn't get onto MSN or Visual Studio after the upgrade to IE 7. After a week of searching, I have finally found the answer.
If you have IE 7 and want to go back, follow these instructions:
1: Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
2: At the top of the Add/Remove Programs screen there is a checkbox. The checkbox reads, "Show Updates". Check it, and a list of updates will appear in the list. Scroll down to near/at the bottom, and the infamous IE 7 will be there. Click 'Remove'.
3: You will be prompted that a ton of programs will no longer work. Ignore that warning, and click Yes to continue.
4: Click Finish. You will need to restart the computer.
When Windows re-loads, it will be gone, and IE 6 or whatever you had before will be there.
A couple of notes:
I. This has only been tested on Windows XP. I do not have any other Operating Systems, and you may need to look to find that option mentioned above. I don't know. If this is available on other OS's, please post where for future reference.
II. This is the ONLY way to remove this accursed beta. I have tried every other concievable method I can think of. If, by some quirk, there is another way, please post that, but I doubt there will be another method.
Well, there. I hope this helps some other poor frustrated end-user who got schiested by Microsoft with this browser. I still say FireFox is better, but hey, I need to get into my Visual Studio, not to mention my Email...
