1377475 2014-06-19 05:24:00 Is Internet Explorer part of Win7. With updates it looks as though I have Version 11 which will not load. It just gives a momentary flash.
Can I uninstall IE and perhaps go to an earlier version?. Firefox is my browser of choice but I don't want to uninstall IE11 if it is going to cause trouble.

1377476 2014-06-19 05:32:00 IE8 comes with Windows 7, but for sanity of web developers I do not recommended going back that far. ;) pcuser42 (130)
1377477 2014-06-19 06:17:00 Wonder if your prob is the same as this (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). Post #13? IE closes 10-15 secs after you try to run it

Do you use registry cleaners?? If your prob is the same as the above, that may have caused what youre seeing

I run ccleaner but not the registry part, I am scared of playing with the registry. LOL.

1377479 2014-06-19 06:47:00 Thats what happened on the link I posted. I had to login to this PC with teamviewer, to see what the prob was. So I could fix it. Some of the files somehow had become unregistered Speedy Gonzales (78)

Web developers probably won't care, you'll just be annoying yourself when half the websites you want to look at don't work.

1377483 2014-06-20 00:01:00 So it is part of Windows 7?

Yes and no. In the past, it was pretty much an integral part of Windows and removing it was tricky and easy to break other things...

Nowadays you can turn it off from Windows features, though that is not exactly 'removal' eg: www.howtogeek.com since it can easily be added again with a few clicks...
