How do I reinstall IE8?

[thedonquixotic]

So my college campus requires IE8 to get online the first you get online. And so I got on the wifi network, but after that, deleted IE8. However, I want to get on ethernet, and so I need it back. But microsoft doesn't have the W7 download on their website, and whenever I try to install any of the other versions it just pops up saying "This isn't compatible". Is there a way to re-download it?

internet explorer is built into windows. How did you manage to remove it? Try typing web pages into the search bar in vista/windows 7 or run in windows xp.

Apparently there is no stand alone download for IE8 applicable to Windows 7. Vista offers a stand alone IE8 download. May have to settle for a reinstallation of Windows 7.

Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
Just select Internet Explorer 8 and press OK.

OP uninstalled IE8. IE8 is no longer available to be turned on.

I didn't see a uninstall anywhere on my pc, no idea how he did that then.

Yeah, good question. Windows 7 has a completely integrated IE8? No stand alone download for IE8 in Windows 7? Like Media Player in Vista. I hate that.

Well all I did was go to "remove programs" and removed it.

But when I turned it back on using your suggestion blackwidow it works fine. Thanks!

Re: How do I reinstall IE8

Control Panel, Programs and Features on the right side select "Turn Windows Features on or off", wait for list to be populated, put tick on Internet Explorer 8. Prior to do that uninstall Internet Explorer 9...
Why would printer have problems with Internet Explorer 9?
