    you cannot uninstall IE-8 or IE-7 after you have installed SP3 after was installed on Win XP. 1st you must un-install SP3 then then remove the IE you dont like then re-install SP3 the install IE-8 or 7 after that is done you can uninstall it at a later date through add/remove progs

    Hi,
    I want to uninstall Internet Explorer 8, but I'm not sure how to get back on line (using IE 7?). Any ideas?

    Yours truly.
