Guest Lightning Bolt Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Oh Great!!! I should have read all of this PRIOR to downloading 7.0 I can't work from home with 7.0 and want 6.0 back but all I've read is I can't get 6.0 back, either. Screwed again!!! Dang!

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Required reading IMHO before installing IE7: Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11 take note of #12, then STOP! http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install (ignore any references to Vista) And I strongly recommend using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Alternately, use this Direct Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
