beta, so this would be a Dell warranty issue.

If you received a new system from Dell that actually came with a pre-release
version of IE installed, there is only one appropriate thing to do.

You should immediately call Dell support and require a replacement, as
inclusion of pre-release software would represent a major production
problem.

It would be completely unacceptable to ship such a system to a customer.
A system build like that might be acceptable for internal testing purposes,
but not for shipping.

With one exception, there's no other action that you should take, as you can
have no idea what else is wrong with that system.

The exception is that you must also back up and remove any data you have on
that system. Do not expect Dell (or any manufacturer) to place any value
on it.

Hello Richard,

Check in Programs and Features to see if you have "Internet Explorer 8" listed to uninstall. If you do, then click on it to uninstall IE8 and go back to IE7.

Uninstall or Change a Program

Hope this helps,

I absolutely guaranTEE that it's not listed there. If you don't know
that, I'll be surprised.

I think you used this as another excuse to tout the forum.

I have found out that it did not come with the computer my little cousin
messed with my computer while I was away and downloaded the beta version of
internet explorer 8 so now everything is back to normally I figured out how
to put Internet Explorer 7 back on

Hello DDW,

I mentioned this because when you install the Beta IE8 from the Microsoft link below, it does have a entry in the Programs & Features area to uninstall it with to go back to IE7. If Dell had installed it using this or a similar method, then the OP may have a entry as well to use.

As far as your other comment, you will not find one of my posts that was not related to directly helping to answer the posted question. I detest spam and will not be a part of it.

Richard,

I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted out.

I'm sure you are mistaken. Dell would not ship a computer with a beta
version of Internet Explorer installed. Check again.

Hi Ken,

It turned out that his cousin had installed IE8 without him knowing it.
