About Cyber X Designs

So tonight Cyber X Designs took the leap and installed Internet Explorer on yet another machine here. I know we are late to the game for a technology company, but we are wimps when it comes to new MS software. Well our fears were well founded. Our friends at QuickBooks and Microsoft aren’t playing nice together. QuickBooks Pro 2005 is incompatible with IE7. When QB loads up it gives you a nice error with instructions on how to uninstall Internet Explorer 7.

Are you interested in how to uninstall IE7?

1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Add or Remove Programs
4. Select Windows Internet Explorer 7 - Remember it is “Windows” Internet Explorer, I didn’t and couldn’t find it in the list for couple of minutes.
5. Click Remove, wait wait wait.
6. Restart, again.

I uninstalled IE7, which went rather smoothly, and now QuickBooks is working again. I am going to keep my eye on the system for odd behavior. I will also list any other incompatibilities I discover here.
