New Windows Live Beta Uninstall?

I just installed the new Beta version, and I'm having some issues with it. I
decided to switch back, but I'm having a very difficult time uninstalling.
When I open the window for uninstall, I can't choose continue unless I
deselect Windows Live Beta. I made sure the program was no longer running,
and so I am at a loss. If anyone can tell me how to get through the
uninstall it would be much appreciated.

I am having the same problem really frustratin

Hello Turkadactyl and Hafelife,

To uninstall this beta version of Internet Explorer 8, you just need to
select "Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2" listed in the "Programs and
Features" "View Installed Updates" link. For more about this, see:
'Windows Update - Uninstall'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/92...uninstall.html)

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I have a similar problem with the uninstalling; I can't even deselect the
programs because the checkboxes are not accessible; it doesn't work if I
press space to uncheck so the "continue" button to go further stays as
unavailable. I'm totally blind so no way of using the mouse; it has to be
accessible with the keyboard.

I had the same problem.
Try to install every item first, and then uninstall the whole package
The second time you can probably uncheck everything & continue th
uninstalling
It worked with me

You can remove when you're in software map (control panel). A differen
window opens & you can check or uncheck the different parts (phot
gallery, live mail, family ..., messenger and some other I think).
did not have them all installed. So I did install it all. Rebooted th
pc. Went back to software (in control panel) & started deletin
procedure again. I unchecked every item and suddenly I was able t
proceed the uninstall..

I personally did not like the beta because I couldn't add smileys in m
messenger... :-
