Can someone tell me how to get my computer back on explorer 6. I HATE the upgrade to 7. Any help is appreciated.

you can go to:
http://www.tucows.com/preview/193778

to download 6.0 - then remove 7.0, otherwise, if you have XP-reset computer back to date before you updated.

If you also have aol, might be easier to remove IE 7, download 6.0 through aol, then install.

Actually, all you have to do is uninstall IE 7, IE 6 is still there and will come back as the browser.

It will come back after you uninstall it and restart your computer. Don't freak out after you uninstall it and there is no IE at all - just do a restart and it will be back to IE6. Also you can go to the Microsoft updates section and Block this update. I didn't know that until we had our IT people in a couple of weeks ago to update some stuff and they showed me how to keep my boss from putting IE7 on his machine again (I have removed it 3 times off his compter).

You have to uncheck the automatic updates or it will update you automatically to IE7. I hate IE7 too!

You can leave the automatic updates on - just block it on Microsoft's site.

Yes. That way you can get all the other updates automatically, just not IE 7.

I changed over to it earlier today and I don't like it either. I'm going to give it a few days but probably will change back.

Me too. But if I have to use IE, I have IE7. I like the tabs.

True, I'm not even sure if I have that version or not. I only use IE on the rare occasion when something doesn't work right with Firefox.

I love using the tabs! IE7 took me a few minutes to get used to, but I wouldn't go back to IE6.

Thanks all. Among other things, I keep getting a page telling me the website I am looking for is unavailable or that I am not connected to the internet, horsehockey. Thanks again all!
