Have you tried uninstalling IE7 in Add/Remove?
(You shouldn't have to install IE6 again)

If so and it failed then try the IE7 group.
I see in http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx that
the recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Hello everyone;

I just installed IE 7 ok on XP/SP2.

However, one of the software I used (HP Scanjet 5590) depends on IE 6.1
being there for some reason. So now my HP Scanjet user interface does not
come up any more.

I called HP support and they told me I need to go back to IE 6.

But when I try to install IE 6 (I found a link on Microsoft website to
download it, I think IE SP1), it will not install, it tells me a newer
version exist.

Is there a way to un-install IE 7 and install IE 6 back? or somehow roll
back IE 7 to where the IE version that was there before? it seems installing
IE7 deleted IE 6? I thought it will just install IE 7 and leave IE 6 there?

thanks
Nasser
