    Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Is it possible to revert back to IE7?
    The beta is causing minor problem like trying to get updates for norton and/or
    moving elements of a web page around (overlaying other elements on the page).

    thanks,
    savagcl

    Hope you didn't install this work in progress on a mission critical machine;)

    Have you looked in control pannel->add remove?

    Nope! A buddy of mine did tho. Said it came down as an update.
    Don't believe that it was an update....

    If i do the add/remove, then it won't automatically revert back to
    IE7, does it? I'm thinking I'll have to re-install IE7......

    thanks,
    savagcl

    PS> Sorry bot the wrong forum post. Wasn't thinking or had a
    senior moment.
