What exactly means "imaging the hard drive"? What are the steps to do this?
Otherwise I do, indeed, know NOW that "it is recommended to install SP3
*before* upgrading the IE7 . But I strongly believe that on the IE8 page of
the Microsoft website a such recommendation as well as the recommendations
presented by PA Bear SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO THE SIMPLE USERS.
And ANYWAY on the support pages in the Microsoft website should have been
presented a solution for the problem I am currently facing !!!
Wow.
This is why many of us recommend imaging the hard drive. That way,
whenever something this disastrous happens, you can revert to your
slightly older, yet working, system in less than an hour.
You now know that it is recommended to install SP3 *before* upgrading
IE6. It's not your fault you did it the other way. Still, you now know
what is safer.
You *could* spend lots of time troubleshooting and repairing, but I'm
wondering if a Clean Install might wind up taking you less time and
effort.

On March 19, 2009 I have installed the final version of IE8 on my
Windows XP
Professional SP3 (Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop). Please note also that
the SP 3
was installed AFTER I previously installed IE7 . There was no
noticeable
difference in terms of browsing speed and more over IE8 seemed to me
too
sophisticated. So I decided to uninstall it. THIS was the START of my
problem. After I uninstalled IE7 the system reverted to an IE7 that
was
totally non-functional ( hang-up / freezing ) . I tried everything:
uninstalling and reinstalling IE7, to uninstalling and reinstalling
SP3
(both in normal and safe mode) even under the guidance of a
representative of
Microsoft support representative in Romania to whom I granted remote
access
to my laptop. The same negative result was obtained when , as
suggested by
the Romanian Microsoft Support representative I uninstalled the Norton
Internet Security 2009 and the Spybot Search and Destroy and I even
performed
a repair install of my Windows XP professional but everything was in
vain.
Now I am able to browse the Internet using IE6 .
Therefore I am open to any suggestion that could bring IE7 to a
functional
state on my laptop.
