I purchased a computer with VISTA, which comes  preinstalled with IE7, but my software is not compatible with it (QuickVerse8), and it will only work with IE6. So far I have found nothing to assist in downgrading. Does anyone have an idea?

Costs about 400-500 to do so.

Here's a website with a lot of old versions, so you can find IE6 there and install it.

Vista will keep you from downloading IE 6 if it came installed with IE 7

Uninstall IE7, then try to install IE6.

If you manage to install it you may need to disable auto-updates.  You can still leave the updates to a point where it asks you what to download and install.

From the responses I am getting to this question, I am under the assumption that there is no way to do this, or that those who are replying have not actually done this themselves. Windows Vista Add/Remove programs does not give the option of removing IE7 and if I try to overwrite IE7 with the installation of an earlier version, it will produce an error message stating that this cannot be done.

I may have to cut my losses.

If you need to do it very bad, run a virtual machine.  Install something like Windows 2k Pro with VMWare server (or other) and run it from there, but to run very smoothly you will need a good PC.

I might as well upgrade to a newer version of Quick Verse before I do that, but thank you for the suggestion.
