Yeah, realize that using a BETA is stupid unless you're a BETA tester.

I thought the point of using this community was to get assistance, not
stupid suggestions. SORRY, I'm not a techie like you!

Even more reason why you should go to Add/Remove and remove IE8. If
you're not a "techie", leave BETA programs alone.

Oh, and you can just go f^ck yourself if you can't handle constructive
criticism. Saying that using a BETA product is stupid if you're not a
BETA tester is not an insult but a fact, Jack.

I guess you've got to be a A^shole to give out constructive criiticism.
SORRY, didn't mean to hurt your feelings! Oh by the way, you can stick it
where the sun don't sun.

Sorry but if you're not a techie, running a BETA program is a stupid
act. This does not imply that you are stupid but that you did something
stupid, something that *everyone* does from time-to-time. Now, if you
want a solution, follow my advice to uninstall IE8 and see if you can do
updates with IE7.

Uninstall the Internet Explorer BETA (Beta means it is not complete, not
ready for release, may cause issues, etc.)

It should restore your older version of Internet Explorer. I suggest you
reboot afterwards and then visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and do a
custom scan for updates. Get all the high-priority ones for now. Ignore
the optional ones.

As for me this did not work......

I started the service both manually and later automatically and it shuts
down instantly. It does not even give me the opportunity to change screens
to get the update to refresh on the webpage. This is the most serious
concern to date..... our systems are vulnerable
