    You can uninstall the internet explorer 9 from the computer, go the control panel and then go to the Add / Remove program then see in that there is the internet explorer 9 or not, if it there then select and uninstall it and then download and install the IE 8 on our system.

    Actually there is no downgrade option available in the IE or in any other software’s. For the downgrade you have uninstall the current running software / IE on your system. As you uninstall the IE 9 as the above user have told you how to uninstall it. Now download the correct IE 8 for your windows and do it properly as you always do for installing any software in your computer. Once you installed the IE 8 then do a restart of your system, as it install will apply to the other file and other region where IE 9 was connected.
