Only a message would show telling me that the page could not be displayed. I tried reinstalling ie7, but the installer complained that a newer version of ie existed, and would go no further. I have yet to be able to uninstall ie8. Turns out, Service Pack 3 eliminates the ability to UNINSTALL either ie7 or ie8. I saw that the European Union is maybe filing suit about that. Hope so. Anyway... Service Pack 3, according to MS, must be removed to enable the uninstalling of ie7 or ie8. However, the detailed instructions MS provided for removing Service Pack 3 failed to work. So... I am back to dealing with the nastiest "virus" I have ever experienced -- not counting those that totally destroyed my computer. I did see a dangerous method for removing ie8 by editing the registry -- which was involved and risky. I decided to only try that last. Well... I'm at that point now. But I lost the link to the extensive instructions. Trying now to find that again. I believe it is now my only recourse. For me, ie8 would not open any Web site pages.

When I click on 'Remove', it tells me it will rollback to previous version. I can only remove the WMP security updates, but not the actual player.
