I made a mistake. I should have known better than to install a Microsoft Beta product. I love Microsoft, but their Beta products have some real quirks sometimes (I know....hence the term Beta). I usually wait - never wanting to be first in that arena. However, I decided to take a chance on Internet Explorer 9 Beta. The install SEEMED to go smoothly. The computer restarted, but I would get an error when I tried to use IE9.
Every single time I clicked on it, I got the dreaded Windows has an error message and then Windows is checking for a solution message. Over and over. I tried all of the instructions provided by Microsoft to fix it, but I finally decided that I didn't and don't have the time to work through the issues. I need IE for development purposes and it HAS to work for me so I did an
uninstall. However, when I went to do my
uninstall, I couldn't find IE9! Since anything that is added has to have a way to be removed, I started searching to find it. I did and here is the solution so you won't have to spend as much time as I did.
On Windows 7 here is what you do:- Go to Control Panel
- Select Programs And Features
- In the upper left hand corner, select View Installed Updates
- You will be provided with a list of updates, but you will likely not see Windows Internet Explorer 9 clearly in the list
- To find Windows Internet Explorer 9, go to the search box in the upper right hand corner and type in Windows Internet Explorer 9
- Windows Internet Explorer 9 will magically appear and you should select it and then hit the Uninstall button.
- The computer will uninstall the components and then ask you to restart.
- Once you restart, you will need to set up some attributes of Internet Explorer 8 again, but you will be rid of Internet Explorer 9 and ready to rock and roll.
Whew....lets not EVER do that again until IE9 is ready - lol!
Smooches,
Kila
