If you go to Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs -> View installed updates (on the left) and there's IE8 you can uninstall and after reboot IE7 is back.

"I'd rather not go that route as it will cause head aches with other apps"

as far as fixing your problem goes, I have no idea, since I haven't tried IE7 yet. I'll wait until it gets closer to release before I attempt that, since I'm not actively developing anymore (I'm primarily a system builder). For the future, I'd suggest loading up a copy of Virtual PC and keep a backup VHD of a bare Windows installation so that you have something to test beta software on.

When Hyper-V Server comes out, I plan on running that on my notebook for software compatibility testing and product demos on the go.

"a good dev always makes sure there's a system backup handy"

Duh, of course I do, but I'd rather not go that route as it will cause head aches with other apps.

On the other hand, a good software company would realize that IE7 is not the only browser version available for their current OS.

Alrighty then...

Downloaded the XP SP2 version and successfully installed it on XP Pro SP3 RC2 with no problems encountered. Rebooted twice just to make sure it was all settled in (rebooting twice does help sometimes).

Looks promising indeed, especially with all those new tools and Activities and such. It's most definitely buggy but that's to be expected although I think labeling this build a "beta" is stretching it a bit. I'd say it's behavior more represents a late alpha build at best. The thing that got me chuckling is that the sites IE 8.0 (in it's default "Super standards mode) has the most trouble with is any MS related site that I visited including MSN and even it's own "Welcome to IE 8.0" home page. Most exhibited broken scrolling where the site keeps popping back up to the top as you scroll downward. Other problems I found was in filling in text fields where highlighting didn't work and the cursor wouldn't follow the mouse (off by 3 or 4 letters).

Be that as it may, it's a developer's build so I expect stuff like this and I'm looking forward to testing the thing out. MS deserves to commended for *finally* making the move towards adhering to web standards. In the meantime there's always the "Emulate IE 7.0" button and my main browser, Firefox of course.

"any ideas?"

a good dev always makes sure there's a system backup handy, or a custom Windows image with which they can quickly reinstall....or (my own preference) they use a virtual machine to test out beta software.

you set these up beforehand didn't you?....

;)

Ok, so I downloaded IE8 just to test it out, and it's so buggy I couldn't function with it. I know it's beta, but the thing is that when I went to reinstall IE7 here's what Microsoft.com says:

"Your computer already has Internet Explorer 7. It is included with Windows Vista, the operating system you are running."

uh... any ideas?
