    Uninstalling IE7

    Hi,

    I was having trouble with IE7 stalling. I thought a simple way to improve it would be to simply uninstall and then reinstall. This appears to have been a mistake as I find IE7 very difficult to uninstall.

    I used windows add or remove to get rid of IE7 - this appeared to work, except that when I tried to download IE7 using firefox and then re-install I get a message saying that IE7 is already on my machine. Sure enough it is still there but seems to be hidden as I cannot now find the program or the files to uninstall it (it no longer appears in my 'add or remove' dialogue).

    IE7 still works but is still unstable - how can I get rid of it and start again please?
