My computer recently asked me if i wanted to download internet explorer 9 that was now available (i was on internet explorer 8 prior) Now IE 9 is on my computer i am now unable to connect to the wireless system connection at work due to the increased security on IE 9. I need to download IE 8 again and use this but i am not sure how to do it. Please help!
go to filehippo.com
search for internet explorer
select it and on the RHS column are all the previous versions. select beta for win7, vista, dont select beta for XP
When you select one on the rHS column, the main page updates the text section, so the Technical tab will tell you if its suitable for your OS.
When you install it, it automatically unsinstalls whats on the computer.
Set up IE/8 so it runs efficiently. (2 minutes)
1. In IE, Click Tools >Internet Options >Advance Tab. Cdownload internet explorer 8lick Restore advance settings defaults button. Then scroll the listings down to near the bottom and select >Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empties the cache, which if not empty, will stop you from going online and hassles msn)
2. Ensure only one phishing filter program, and only one firewall program is used on the computer. Disable others that may be in other software, or disable the browser phishing filter.
Ie8 - to disable the phishing filter click Tools > scroll down to SmartScreen filter and disable it. (leave it on is preferred) SmartScreen filter will stop malicious code from being installed to your computer, specially through activex, however it may be doubling up with your internet security program so causing your browser to be a little slower. So either disable it in the browser or disable it in your idownload internet explorer 8nternet security program.
3. Then in IE8 click the blue drop arrow near the search icon (top RHS corner) >manage search providers >make the one you want default >then remove all the others listed. These really slow IE8 so remove them.
4 Click Tools >manage add ons > accelerators and disable all of them.
5 Get rid of any toolbars on the menu line. Place the curser near the top under the address bar and right click. Tick Menu bar, Status Bar, and Command bar. Untick any other listed.
6 Then Click Tools >Delete Browser History, cookies, add ons, the whole lot. Do this regularly. Close the browser to set the settings.
Internet Explorer 9 is installed by a Windows Update.
If you remove that Update then you will be back to Internet Explorer 8.
Here are instructions on how to do it:
