ie 9

I am buying another DELL DIMENSION 8100. The tower has a fresh install of XP PRO SP 3, IE 9. I do not know what MS email program if any is bundled with it. The issue is I NEED to use IE 6 because of a specific real estate site that uses IE ONLY! The upgrade to 7,8, or 9 is long and complicated with no improvement from a use standpoint. The question is can I remove IE 9 which will roll back to 8 then 7 then 6? The MS mail client that is in use is not an issue.. Or do I need to reload the older XP PRO SP 2 using my DELL CD? This will give me IE 6 and OE 6 as a bundle. Overall this tower is a better tower because of owner upgrades. If I can roll back as opposed to reloading that is what I am after. Any advice welcome.

 

Thanks for watching my back DDP. You verified what I thought was true. Thanks again.

 

I thought IE9 was for vista & w7 what are you dong with it on xp does it run ok..lol..

 

The current owner installed it, not my choice. I plan to roll back to 6 which matches the DELL CD I have. I need 6 because of a specific real estate site that uses IE ONLY. Upgrading to 7, 8 or 9 for that site is more trouble than its worth. According to the current owner it works well. I will test the tower as is before I add drives or reload the OS if needed or roll back to 6.

 

in that case i'm going to give it a whirl

 

Let me know how you make out. Maybe you will do better than I.

 

IE7 & 8 have a compatability mode where it displays older websites better or something like that i've seen it come up when installing them

 

Won't be able to run IE9 in XP if web search is any indication so that settles that..lol..

 

Thanks. That is what I thought. The seller is not sure if 7,8, or 9 was installed. I will remove whatever is there until I get back to 6. The icon for each should be different for each. I can always reload the OS, yet again. There are no third party programs installed. I would have to do that anyway.
