-- Posted by ForChrist at 9:50 pm on May 1, 2008 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?

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. -- Posted by Dylan6405 at 7:42 pm on May 3, 2008 download IE6 on BitTorrent or LimeWire if you cant get it anywhere else, install it OVER IE7, do not delete ie7 -- Posted by ForChrist at 12:48 pm on May 4, 2008 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. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 1:20 pm on May 4, 2008 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. -- Posted by ForChrist at 3:19 pm on May 6, 2008 I might as well upgrade to a newer version of Quick Verse before I do that, but thank you for the suggestion. -- Posted by rand0mguy at 9:51 pm on May 10, 2008 remove ie7, download and istall ie6, and then reinstall ie7! :) -- Posted by ForChrist at 1:14 pm on May 11, 2008 It has already been established that this is not possible with Vista as a preinstalled operating system.
