Hi - in my case, after several hours of pondering it, I hit on the obvious: Restore. But I still would know if that is really the answer? No other method of recovering an older IE such as IE8 or IE7 once IE9 is gone? No expert help?
I had to remove IE9 from my computer (Win7 Pro plus SP1, 2 giga of memory Intel 2.6 processor). Contrary to Microsoft affirmations it did not revert to IE8. When I tried to reinstall IE9 the response after downloading it was "Setup can't continue because a more recent version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer". That is not the case, since I removed IE completely including its registry entries. When I tried to reinstall IE8 and later IE7 the response was "IE8 (IE7) is not supported on your OS". My default browser is Firefox (now version 10) but the two have been co-existing for many years, so I do not think that FF is the problem. Can anyone tell me please what is? Tks - Amos
