not happy with IE8

When trying to open web pages I continually get "Internet Explorer cannot
display the webpage." Refreshing does no good. Sometimes clicking the
"diagnose connection problems" button will open the page. But usually I have
to close the window or tab, open it again, then try to open the web site
again.

I have read some of your other comments. I have AVG anti-virus and it is
updated regularly. I also use Malwarebytes' anti-malware. It is also updated
and used regularly. I don't use any add-ons. I have Windows XP Pro.

How do I delete IE8 and re-install IE7?

Same as uninstalling any Windows Update....

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista x64 SP2) when
posting to this newsgroup.

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE in No Add-ons mode:

=> Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

3. Does the behavior persist if you boot into Safe Mode with Networking?
[Careful! Only remain in Safe Mode just long enough to test!]

4a. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8?

4b. Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

5. Just asking for now!! Do NOT use such a Restore Point yet!! => Do you
have an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8?

LG

If you don't even know how to uninstall a program, then IE8 is most definitely not your
problem.

I had the same problem with pages not opening particularly when
clicking links in mails . I tried to revert to IE7 but that got messed
up so I'm living with IE8 for now
