IE 8 Beta crashes but no way to uninstall

[Robert McN]

By mistake I installed IE 8 beta and every time I try to open it, it
immediately crashes. I want to uninstall it, but it isn't listed in the
Add/Remove programs list. Moreover, there isn't an uninstall option on the
"all programs" list. I tried to install IE 7, but it won't permit me to
because it says there is a higher version. Unfortunately, I need Internet
Explorer to access important documents on a SharePoint site, so this is very
important.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

I had the same problem and here is how you fix it and go back to IE7. IE8 is
considered and update that is why it does not show up in the control panel.
Open the control panel and on the left pane click where it says updates.
Listed in there are all your updates and IE 8. Click IE8 and select
unistall. Let me know if this works.
Best Regards,
Kaja
