<p>I hardly ever use IE but there is a program for school that I need to work on and I need IE 6 to run this program. Best I can tell mt Vista laptop runs either IE 7 or IE 8. I would use firefox if it was possible but its not. I have checked all over the control panel and I can not find where I can uninstall IE 7 so that I can install IE 6 like I did on my desktop.</p>
<p>The program I need to work is called Xstream and its to do some computer work before a test tomorrow.</p>
<p>Thanks…</p>
<p>Why can’t you use firefox? I have Vista & that’s what I use most of the time. I HATE Vista, by the way. I installed IE8 yesterday & I couldn’t get my computer to start today. It took me half the day to get to the point where I could do a system restore & go back to having IE7 only.</p>
<p>As for how to get IE6, can you look in your programs & find it? It might be in your program list if you ever had it. Otherwise, I’m not sure how to do it.</p>
<p>The program will not run on anything other than IE 6, I wish it would. i checked all over my control panel and I see nothing that involves IE.</p>
<p>I looked at mine, too, and I also don’t see anything about IE. It must be within some other microsoft program on the control panel. Sorry I can’t be of help.</p>

<p>These might help.</p>
<p>Its ok I was hoping that someone would have an possible solution I could try. I will ask on of my computer teachers in the morning if there is a way around this.</p>
<h1>5 Thank you so much i will give that a try.</h1>
<p>I auto delete did not work. I followed the instructions for for doing it manually but still could not find IE 8 or IE anything in my control panel.</p>
<p>Ok after messing around on Microsoft I was able to get IE 7. I was unable to delete 8 because it is listed no where on my control panel I don’t care what microsoft says. I was however able to reset it and that brought back 7 which I guess I was running 8 (couldn’t find the option to tell me what version it was running). Now lets see if the program will run.</p>
<p>Program works now and IE 8 is uninstalled. They make it hard to do that will Vista.</p>
<p>Find someone with Windows XP that hasn’t upgraded to IE 7.</p>
<p>i have my desktop set so that i could run that program (XP) but my laptop is a Vista and i just could not find that icon to uninstall so that I could put 7 on there. After looking around on the link provided (because what the link said do didn’t work) I found out how to reset IE on Vista which reverts it back to 7.</p>
<p>Upside is on the laptop the program works better than the desktop because the laptop is a 17" widescreen. So I can see all the buttons.</p>
<p>My D has had her laptop set up for dual boot. She can either start up in Vista or XP. It is a bit cumbersome but at least she did not lose all of the software we had prior to getting a laptop with Vista.</p>
<p>Try firefox with the “IEtab” extension. Many IE specific pages and apps that choke on Firefox will run under IEtab and firefox.</p>
<p>See [XStream</a> - About XStream](<a href=“http://xstream.codehaus.org/index.html]XStream”>http://xstream.codehaus.org/index.html) for nasty tech details for xstream. Xstream might be incompatible with your Java virtual machine (JVM), so an update to your JVM (see control panel) may help.</p>
<p>When I pull the page up (a testing site) that XStream runs through using Firefox this is what it says:
The log in options won’t even appear. If you up in any version of IE except 6 or 7 its says “Attention IE 8 users, must use IE 6 or 7 to run this program” and you an not open the software to run the programs I need to use the site.</p>
<p>But as I said I reset IE on the laptop which reverts it back to the 7 version and everything runs fine now.</p>
