IE8 It is not installed in Windows 7.

Has loaded IE8 for Windows Vista and at start of installation there is a message, that the given system is not supported.

What to do?

IE8 is loaded by default, what version are you using and have you vlited your install at all? is IE8 available in your add/remove programs?

IE8 does not install in Win7, because it ships with Win7. If you don't see it, either you're running an "N" version or it's been unchecked in the list found in "Turn Windows Features on or off" section of Control Panel > Programs.

Just like I.E.6 was a part of Windows XP when it first came out,

I.E.8 is a part of Windows 7.

I'm running Win-7, build 7048, 64 bit and it indeed has I.E.8 installed.

I wouldn't even futz around with any of the 32 bit versions.

The whole industry is moving into 64 bit as quickly as they can.

Win-7 runs much faster on my 64 bit capable AMD 5200+ CPU,

than windows XP-Pro, 32 bit.

Those who think Win-7 is a new OS, are in for a rude awakening.

It's VISTA, with botox and a boob job!

Everything I hate about Vista is alive and well in Window 7!

I found a neat little script, titled "Take Ownership" that allows me to

take the ownership of files or folders, one at a time.

Download the .reg script here:

Just run this script and it will add "Take Ownership" to your 'Right Click Context Menu'.

That helps some, but Win-7, like Vista, is still a nightmare for the

tech, geek or enthusiast.

In my version of Win-7, the 'Windows mail" program is there, but

completely inaccessible and totally disabled.

There is a fix, involving the removal of all the files in the mail folder

and replacing them with the files from the same folder in Vista.

Rots O Ruck! When you can't get access to a file, you can't remove it.

In total disgust, I gave up on that and installed "Thunderbird" so I could

get my email when running Win-7. That works!

Cheers Mates!
