start..............control panel...........uninstall program
highlite ie9 n clik uninstall
n will go back automatically to ie8

Thanks for your reply! Has anyone else noticed 'blurred' pics on sites since IE9 came aboard, or is it just me???
I deliberately don't use IE, so I wouldn't know.Quote:

Still thinking about E8 and as im happy with E7 probally wont bother.
I have both Windows & Ubuntu Operating Systems - use Firefox browsers on both with no hassle.
Tend to stay in Ubuntu 99.9% of the time due to my complete Windows aversion.
Search: ie9 blurred images
Best option though is to go cold turkey and give up IE for good - get a decent browser.
Microsoft are advertising IE on the TV now.
No problem here
I agree with the others, try a different browser. Having to use IE in any format for me was complete torture. My experience was you could never X out a page or go to another page until each and every flashy blinking advert was totally loaded. I don't look at those ads, basically they are annoying, but with IE (insert any number) I was forced to "wait around" until I could go about my business. I use firefox without issue on a Windows platform. No issues with it at all.
It is best to keep an extra browser on your machine anyway. My DH had some sort of virus that took over the browser (IE whatever), and would not allow any downloads to fix it, would redirect the URL to something that caused flashing warning messages etc. It was the fact that he had another browser available he was able to find and download the fix.
I use Firefox - wouldn't go back to IE for love nor money :)
When I7 stopped working for the pictures, I made myself start using Firefox. I am like you I stuck with what I knew and didn't have to think about to use. Now that I have used it for a couple of months I love it and it is so much faster. There is a learning curve with it but if I can do it you certainly can.
I've gone to Google Chrome, but still have Firefox 3.6 version installed on both systems. The FF4 was a real disappointment.
I'm a Firefox fan but I so agree that a spare browser is a very useful thing. I have Chrome & IE (not sure which version, I seldom use it) just in case.
Firefox is now up to release version 11. Might be worth another look.Quote:

Yes thats what I use. :):)Quote:

I also wont use IE at all, its so clunky! - and I swear by Firefox. Mum was having a nightmare getting online on her computer with IE, then I installed firefox for her and same result, from it barely loading, she is now able to surf the web in style!
