 Uninstall IE8 BETA1 I decided to give internet explorer beta1 a try to see what its like and now i appear to be stuck with it. I have no way of uninstalling it. There's nothing in the add/remove programs no uninstall in the directory im at a loss with this. There is a "emulate ie7" feature in the beta but i still would rather uninstall 8 all together. Has anyone else managed to succesfully unistall this, i also cannot find any information on M$ website regarding this.

| Just wait.. IE7 had similar uninstall issues. MS came up with an uninstall program for it after a week or two. Till then, Live up the beta. Don't you know you are NEVER to uninstall any MS product? They are always PERFECT for your every need, want and desire. There are never any problems. Thus, us idiots should learn that we don't know what's best for us.  |

 Appears Normal To me IE8 appears normal to me on my computer. In Add/Remove programs, there is an icon there and i can uninstall it from there. May the installation of IE8 went wrong somewhere in yr system.F.Y.I: IE 8 is not supported at the current moment. U might want to see the release notes of IE8.

| Thankyou AjaxHax, I was aware of this information, but this is not true of the install that I had. The install was corrupt and was not uninstallable via this method either. After I rectified this i reinstalled IE8 and the option to delete it was now available. But thank you for pointing this out.
