If it came with IE 9 already installed my information is that you're not going to be able to roll it back to IE 8. Sorry to tell you that as the saying goes.

I got a new Dell Win 7 laptop recently and it came with IE 9. On my previous laptop I have constantly rolled it back to IE 8 which is a royal pain but can be done. But on the new one there was not an IE 8 to roll back to. When I searched on the Microsoft site it said there was IE 8 for XP but I did not see one for Windows 7. I am using Jaws 11. Since I still have the old laptop I have compared the same websites on both IE 8 and 9 and 8 has more clickable links. Can anyone tell me how to get to IE 8? How to remove the IE 9 and replace it with 8? Where to find the Win 7 version of IE 8 to download? And last but not least, how can I keep it from constantly installing IE 9 every week? I have been through the windows updates but can’t find any place to click to prevent the IE 9 from re-installing itself. I thought I could live with IE 9 but with Jaws 11 it is almost impossible. Another very bothersome problem with the IE 9 is that when I go down the page line by line looking for something specific it says blank about 10 times or more before getting to the next element. I do use the n or p or control down arrow but I am afraid it often skips over the specific thing I am looking for. So any help would be gratefully appreciated.
