Internet Explorer 9 (IE 9.0) Problems and Issues

| May 15, 2011 | 0 Comments

Welcome to the wonderful world of Internet Explorer 9 or the not so wonderful world of Internet Explorer 9. I downloaded it a few months ago and did not have great success with it, so I uninstalled it and went back to IE 8.0. My main reason for uninstalling was that the tools I needed for work (LogMeInRescue) did not work on IE 9.0. It’s not the fault of IE 9.0, it’s that my product wasn’t built for it. But that will happen with many programs you all use. You may be on Facebook and now a game will not work, because it’s not ready for IE 9.0 yet. Or you will be on a website that used to work (it was maybe an interactive website) and now does not work for you.

Many of you are on Windows 7 and are automatically getting the download for IE 9.0. Some of you are getting it automatically and have no choice. Some of you have your updates set to notify you, and then you can have a choice to download and install it or not.

What if you are an XP user? You cannot download IE 9.0. You are only going to be able to install IE 8.0

Call That Girl’s tech team is not installing it for clients. We just do not feel that all the main programs people use online is ready for IE 9.0

Here is a link provided by Microsoft for more information on downloading or uninstalling IE 9.0

Final thoughts, if you want to try it, it’s not bad. I am not too happy with the look and feel of it and will probably stay on IE 8.0 until I have to upgrade. If you need help with this issue, feel free to book an appt with us on the form below.
