i installed IE7 a few hours ago, but i noticed that a lot of websites did not turn out right - how they are supposed to appear...so i decided to uninstall it and change back to IE6...i did so successfully, but now everytime i type in a URL in IE6, it opens up a new tab in Firefox and opens the web page there...even if i click on the Homepage in IE6, it does the same thing...what happened? does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks for any help...

Have you tried to set the defaut "explorer" on the "Define Acess and Standart Programs" opition (I don't know if its correct writed as I translated to english...)???

if by that, you mean tick the "Internet Explorer Should Check to see whether it is the default browser"...then yeah, i've checked it...but doesnt ask...

Just do a system restore and it should be back the way it was.

damnit i knew someone would say that ...

i just gotta know one thing before i do that...i'm downloading something right now - about 450MBs in...if i restore to yesterday, where my download was about 250mbs...would it restore it back to 250mb, or would it stay the same [450mb] as it is now...?

Finish the downloading first, the restore will not affect the file, it will still be there.

Try resetting the IE settings. I think it is in the advanced tab (Tools > Internet Options).

Why people automatically say do a system restore on every little problem is beyond me. Figure out how to fix it first. That was you learn also.
