Re: IE8 installation

During installing new IE, It updates the older files. So, i don't think that the older version will work.

Re: IE8 installation

Hello
My personal recommendations include:

:hand: Install IE8 manually, not via Windows Update/Automatic Updates!!
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx

NB WinXP users: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. When you're prepared to install IE8, double-click on the saved file.

NB Vista users: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. When you're prepared to install IE8, right-click on the saved file and select Run as Administator.

=> Uninstall all third-party toolbars (e.g., Google; Yahoo; Windows Live) and third-party Windows Themes before installing IE8.

=> Close all open applications (i.e., anything with a taskbar icon) before installing or uninstalling IE8.

:hand: I would strongly recommend disabling your anti-virus application and any anti-spyware application's "system protections" (other than Defender) before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade. If you're running a third-party firewall, I would recommend disabling it and then enabling the Windows Firewall before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade.

=> Do NOT use System Restore to remove/uninstall IE8; instead, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700 . Should problems persist after uninstalling, then try System Resetore. NB: Norton users will need to see http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html .

NB WinXP users: Reboot twice after installing or uninstalling IE8, then go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com | Select CUSTOM and scan | Install any Critical Security Updates offered. If a Root Certificates update is listed in the Optional Software Updates category on the left, install it to take full advantage of IE's enhanced security.

NB Vista users: Reboot twice after installing or uninstalling IE8, then check-in at Windows Update and install any critical security updates offered.

Consumer Support:

No-charge support for Internet Explorer 8 installation, set-up and usage (only) is available via telephone (based on your locale) and has been extended until 02 July 2010. Customers must be running Windows XP or Windows Vista in a non-domain environment. Advanced issues which do not qualify for no-charge support include problems that are associated with software and hardware development, network connectivity, server-based technologies, and business-critical systems.
