Windows: how to downgrade Internet Explorer 8 to an older version?


I need to demote my IE to 7. Please tell me how to do that.


I have some links that don't support(?!!) Internet Explorer 8; they work only in IE 7 or older versions. I tried installing IE 7, but the Setup program doesn't run, saying "there is more updated version".



Answer



seems nobody know about Comptability View feature in IE8, its was specialy designed to correct such issues you may have with old entreprise web-applications or such. you don't have to downgrade.



Internet Explorer 8 is a new release and some websites may not yet be ready for the new browser. Click the Compatibility View toolbar button to display the website as viewed in Internet Explorer 7, which will correct display problems like misaligned text, images, or text boxes. This option is on a per site basis and all other sites will continue to display with Internet Explorer 8 functionality. When you click on the Compatibility View button for a site, you don’t need to do it again as the next time you visit that site the browser will show it in compatibility mode. If for some reason you’d like to go back to browsing with Internet Explorer 8 functionality on that site, simply click the Compatibility View button again.
