A few days ago I installed IE8. I wasn't too satisfied, because I had some problems with installing Adobe Flash Player, so I decided to go back to IE7 or IE6. But when I try to install IE7 or IE6, I get the following message: "Setup cannot continue because a more recent version of Internet Explorer has been detected on this computer".

I hope someone can help me.
Thanks

Also, switching to chrome or firefox would be a very good idea. ;)

Firstly uninstall the program through the Control Panel.

Then go into My Computer->C:/Program files and delete the folder called "Internet explorer" if it exists.

Next go to My Computer and click on "Tools" at the top.
Then click "folder options" then the "view" tab.
Uncheck "Hide System Folders" and click on the "Show hidden Files and Folders" raido butten. Click apply.

You should now go to (for vista but XP is similar) "c:\users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft" and replace Administrator with your username. Delete the "Internet Explorer" folder.

Now try to install IE8. However Firefox is much better ;)
