I downloaded IE8 and it seemed to work much slower than IE7.
I went to the Microsoft sight to try to download IE7 but was notified with a popup that I coud not implement it since I had a newer version.
Do I have to delete IE7 B4 a new IE8 Download??
Also, I disabled the HP digital image monotor icon in my tool tray and IE8 started immediately working faster. What are my issues with that monoter disabled?
minimum skills here

Click Start and hit Run.
Next, type the following line into the Run box
%windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe
hit Ok and follow the directions
When it is done uninstalling, Reboot XP
It should be IE7 when you reboot

Image monitor might be hogging resorces. You can disable it at startup. No need for it andit can be started when needed. So I have read :p

Silly question I know, but what is a digital imaging monoter?
-
you could check add an remove programs then try reinstalling IE 7

Silly question I know, but what is a digital imaging monoter?
Process Name : HP Digital Imaging Monitor
File Name : hpqtra08.exe
Description: System Tray access to HP Director. Required if you prefer to use the all-in-one buttons to manually scan documents or transfer photos from a camera, for example
Rating: Depends if the task is deemed necessary by you
It is for scanning, and you do not need it to run at startup. You can run it if you need it

Dont hijack someone else's post. Start a new one if you think that you have a serious issue that needs looked at.

The person who asked the question to begin with asked if he could go back to IE7, and asked what HP digital imaging monitor is, and that he thought it might be slowing IE. Nobody hijacked a post here, I dont think
-
followed your directions to start + run
now have IE7 after reboot. All is well
Thanks much.

Internet Explorer 8 has a box that appeared on my desktop whenever I attempt to open a program using my desktop icons. Instead of the file opening I get a box that says "Do you want to open or save this file." No matter if I click "open" or "save" the file does not open.

Since I'm a IE hater to my bone and blood. I wanted to share other solutions that works. The problem to this thread from the OP that he mentionned was when upgrading to IE8 it was slower. A solution to this is to use another type of browser. Theres Opera, chrome and Firefox.
I like Firefox for 1 simple reason except that it's fast. It has a load of extention. So my solution to this would be install Firefox. Install a Internet explorer extention viewer (it allows you to switch engine to an IE ) that allows you to view pages in IE and becomes fully compatible. You could also install some IE theme in firefox so that it looks like IE itself.
You could say why use Firefox when it could look like IE. Firefox contains extentions and a lots of them to increase security and other stuff that will be useful to every day user.
ps: this ain't hijacking a thread in case you wonder cause the OP mentionned is IE8 was getting slow... Firefox could be a solution to this problem.

Replying to a thread thats 2 years old could also be a problem
