    Install IE8


    I have IE9 on my computer with W7 SP1 32bit OS. Don't like it.
    Tried to instll IE8 and was informed, via a dialog, that I could not install IE8 on a W7 machine. Couldn't install IE8. The requirements page mentioned that W7 both 32bit and 64bit wre OK.
    How do I install IE8?

    Hi,
    The Uninstall a process is the same for any version of Internet explorer,
    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/282216-internet-explorer-10-install-uninstall-windows-7-a.html
    Although I would not recommend doing it,
    If you like Firefox use it instead ?
    Otherwise please state what you don't like,
    Post a link to a site where your having issues,
    ie10 is about as minimum of a version I would use = security is much better,
    Cheers,

    I use all three browsers
    FireFox is default and I like it best.
    IE I have to use with the Blue Mountain "Create and Print" to print greeting cards. Same problem with American Greetings.
    Google Chrome I use to send data to my TV via Chromecast. Chrome cast only works with Google Chrome browser.
    Attached is a screen shot of my screen when I use IE and the "Create and Print". AS you cvan see I cannot edit the card at all . I have already opened a support ticket with Blue Mountain. But no answer yet.
    You reccomend I use IE10?

    Hi thanks for the additional information,
    Have you added these sites to your compatibility view list ?
    Use Alt+TB or Menubar/ Tools/ Comp-view settings,
    If already on the site it will be listed in the site box,
    All you need to do is click on the Add button.
    Close the comp-view window and press the F5 key to refresh the page,
    See how the site functions then,

    Yes ie10 is more secure and if you have an issue with a website the process is the same,
    You can also attempt to reset ie9 or 10 and see if it will help,

    Chrome may have installed browser add-ons in Internet explorer,
    Please check this and if you see a BHO listing Disable it or them,
    If you like post a screen shot of your Toolbars and extensions and Show all add-ons page,

    You can switch Browser modes in Internet explorer as well if you have no luck with adding the site to your comp-view list,
    Press the F12 key while on the site,
    Click on Browser mode and switch to ie8 or ie9 comp-view,

    After switching the page will automatically refresh.
    Cheers.
