    I'm getting a new Dell Vostro 1710 soon and would like to know how to get IE6 as my browser... Should I install 6 and then uninstall whatever is shipped with the computer, that is 7 or 8?

    Thanks for your help

    Hi ToroGuns. I assume the computer is running Windows XP? If you get the computer and it has IE7 or IE8 installed just click Start< Control Panel< Add/Remove Programs and remove IE7 or IE8 from there. This will bring the browser back to IE6. If you don't mind me asking why do want to back to IE6? :confused:

    Hi,

    I ran 7 and 8 unsuccessfully (Sloooow) on my Dell 9400 recently and could revert back to 6 because it was already on the computer.

    This is a New computer with Vista Ultimate and XP pro, and I don't think 6 is installed at the factory. I really don't want 7 or 8 as my browser!

    Thanks
