Sometimes IE8 installs can cause problems because it will often fail to reregister certain dll's needed for some functions to work, this could be the issue.

OK 1 step at a time - go to start, then control Panel, open add/remove programs---look for IE8 and click remove.

U are SO hired !! HAHAH !!....I had read , before I found this site, that I was gonna hafta go line by line and delete each 'dll' line, or something like that

Then I read on like cnet that it was extemely hard to get rid of all the registry keys, whatever that means...


But I really appreciate your help....Hey....why do you think that my McAfee was telling me that there was a security issue with pages I visit every day, and it wouldnt let me go any further, unless I ' overrode' it ??...I didnt click override, but it was doing that with my homepage (1) that is my local TV channel news page...Also a few others I go to everyday....

Ideas on this ??

Post back when you have it removed please !!!regards...
