    I tried running the IE8 uninstall wizard and when it began it stopped naming hundreds of files it couldnt copy. I have XP sp3 and cant install or remove IE8

    Tried your directions for the ie8 uninstall. Ran the
    spuninst.exe file didn’t work ie8 still here. Tried reinstalling ie7, but says ie8 still there , rebooted,
    ran registry fixers, etc. still there! Any more ideas?
    I was told there are 2 registry entrys that can be removed with regedit, that will let you reinstall ir7, but have not been able to find them.

    Thanks Gary Moore

    I did go to oldversion and download 7 – when I went to the other link, it specified IE8 for SP2 and I have SP3 on all machines-

    Thanks!

    @Kay Olson – Actually you can download IE7 from the link in my previous answer. Under the download button for IE8, you can select you OS and click GO to download IE7.
    The oldversion website also has downloads of older IE versions.

    I never had IE7 on that machine, just IE6. As a designer, I test all sites in IE6, 7 and 8 because all have their quirks.

    My solution was the clue from Perfect Uninstaller which gave the date of the IE8 install and go back to the checkpoint before it was installed. For some reason, I had no difficulty installing IE8 over IE7 in a laptop. Now if I could find IE7 some where, I’d try installing that on one of the machines that has IE6 – any clue as to where to find it since all the links point to IE8 now?
