Re: IE7 - Crashes when opening

Hi, I am having a similae problem. I installed IE7 beta on XP-Pro-SP2 and it
failed to complete. I was unable to remove it from add/remove and system
restore crashes immediately upon startup.

So, please help....How do I undo this mess.

Try uninstalling WinXP SP2 via Add/Remove Programs, rebooting & reinstalling
