I suspect that Tore had the Norway language pack installed.

If you are using English just follow the second part, and after a few minutes and a restart you come back to IE7. You have to right click IE8 in the list of installed updates and it gives you an option to uninstall.

Let's hope it works for Traddles too.

Thanks Tore

Hi all!

Traddles' problem is a little more complex that a simple uninstall. Somewhere along the line either one of the million+ dlls has got corrupted/wrong version and/or there seems to be a registry problem.

*****

Regarding uninstalling IE8, I did that yesterday.

I was doing some work for a client. I had saved everything to the server and sent a backup to my other office (8 miles up the road). I went off and made a cup of coffee. When I came back, there was the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. I'd never had that on this PC before, so I was a bit surprised. I rebooted, but it went straight to the same screen. It was a BAD_POOL_HEADER message, which was unusual...

The PC booted OK into Vista, so I knew that the hardware was fine. I ran scandisk and apart from a cross-linked file, it found no problems. Now the only thing I had done recently was to install IE8 when I was helping Angus.

Rather than spend all day finding a messed up DLL, I simply inserted the Windows Home Server restore disk. That goes to the WHS computer and downloads whichever of the last 50 backups I wish to install.

I selected the backup from 1 a.m. the same day, and after a while the PC was back as it had been, as if nothing had ever happened.

I LOVE Windows Home Server. That's twice it has saved me an immense amount of work! (Last time was when a hard disk went bang).

IE8? No way...

Hi Tore and Terry,
I just got my computer back . Everything is working OK now but I found the chap who fixed it had put IE6 on . However the update symbol appeared on the task bar (bottom right) so I updated and the 4th update was IE7. Now everything is back to normal, but the man who fixed it was not in work today so all I could be told was that the machine was fixed and in good working order with all my original stuff still present. Cost £35, which I reckon was worth it as it has saved me a lot of heartache.

Angus.

Hi Angus.

Worth every penny, I think.

I know what he did, and I think I might even know which 100 or so DLLs might have caused it. The main thing is that you're back and working now!

It is beautiful. It runs on a fairly low-spec PC. Doesn't need a keyboard or a monitor, as you are supposed to do it all remotely (although I prefer to log on and do it directly). It's what is known as a "Headless Box". You need keyboard and monitor to set it up, but after that you put the PC away somewhere and leave it to run.

The only thing is to make sure you stuff it with hard disk space. Make sure that each disk is 1TB or more and all will be wonderful. You can add disks at any stage and it will add them to the "pool" very simply. It will even use USB drives, either as a secondary backup system or as another storage drive. Once you have more than one drive, it shuffles things around to make sure that all data is held on at least two disks.

I will bay it that for sure Tanks Terry for the input i will read more on MS web page about it, that's i believe are one good thing to have less problems

I got the operating system for £79. You might have to pay a bit more (I get a special deal with Microsoft), but not much more.

It is worth every penny to me. If a PC has a serious problem I can just run the restore disk and it goes back to when it was last OK. If a hard disk goes bang, or even if I just want to put a newer or larger disk in, I just change the hadrware, boot from the restore disk and hey presto! it's all done. Wonderful.

I really don't know why Microsoft aren't shouting about WHS from the Rooftops. I could even forgive them for Vista, Office 2007 and IE8 after WHS!

The latest SP version of WHS is a much better than the RC1. Lots more features.

Also, go to the WHS web site once you've set it all up. There are loads of add-ons available.
