This applies even if you are trying to install Internet Explorer 9. Remember that IE9 comes as an update package so you need to have IE8 present before you can get IE9.

If you haven't tried Internet Explorer 8 yet, I've got two reasons you should. First, it rocks. Second, for every IE8 download, Microsoft will donate 8 meals' worth of food to local food banks.

Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) has been available for Windows 8 since the OS launch, but Windows 7 users were stuck with IE9 until now.

If you're interested and have Windows 7 installed in your computer, you don't have to wait any longer to give Internet Explorer 11 a try. Just click here to download, either the 32 or 64-bit variant.

Internet Explorer 9 RC is definitely faster than the beta version. Even the harshest critics of IE have been praising the latest release for its design and faster response.

Since the Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview is still in beta, you really shouldn't install it on the computer that you use for your regular activities.

Do this first. Then go to Windows Update and get everything else. We think one of the security updates for Internet Explorer 6 tries to force-install itself after Internet Explorer 8 is installed.

Right-click "Windows Internet Explorer 9," and then click "Uninstall" on the pop-up menu. Click "Yes" when prompted to confirm that you want to uninstall the program.
