One could ask if the latest release of IE 8 beta tried on XP would cause a problem reverting to IE 7. The one problem that however was a full reinstall of XP to see IE 6 running while the add/remove programs list will show IE 7 installed?
That was seen after first trying the beta for IE 8 on XP followed by using a restore point to roll back. What was seen with the roll back was IE 6 since the beta wasn't used to upgrade from 7 at the time. When giong to install 7 after the roll back IE 6 still won't open but simplty see a new desktop shortcut on every try to open it. Outlook Express clearly worked as normal for the 6.0 version.
After first trying a repair install to get the default back 7 or 6 rather saw the exact same problem. Would a reformat and clean install of XP see results? :brows:
You would think that wouldn't you?! NO WAY!![Rage :rage: :rage:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

sums that up! At least there's FireFox 2.0 for the time being if not putting IE 8 beta on again.
