How to get IE8 back? installed IE9 and hate it?

I recently installed IE9, and really don't like it, how do I go back to I8?

  • I went to the microsoft site and attempted to download it but system told me I already had IE9, can I uninstall this and then reinstall IE8? Do I need to keep the relevant window open to get 8? (Sorry if this is obvious, I'm not very tech savvy!)

  • Answer:

    Ok this is pretty simple, but pay close attention just in case. Open up your Control Panel from the start menu and click on "Uninstall A Program", in the bottom left corner. On the left side of the window, click on "View Installed Updates". When it gets done loading, simply click on "Windows Internet Explorer 9"(or something like that that's obviously IE 9), and click "Uninstall". Once it's gone, remember to restart(there will be a prompt saying this also). When your computer restarts, open up Internet Explorer, and voila! It'll be back to IE 8, and all your favorites and such should be there. I'd go through and check various setting you might have set just in case, but everything should be the same.
