I went to open my IE 7 this afternoon and instead of my homepage, I had a MS Windows IE 8 Beta offer to Download Now or take a tour!  I closed that down and opened my normal homepage(C8), but when I opened it again later on, the same thing happened.  So I took the tour, changed my preferences, but couldn't find where to close it out permanently!   How do I get rid of this.  When I opened up IE/Tools/Internet Options, my homepages were still listed in the same order I keep them, C8/ NOTH/ Photobucket/gmail.   What do I do to get rid of this MS Windows page opening?   Bonnie

Forgot to tell you I have Windows XP-SP2.   Bonnie

Have you tried doing a system restore? You can restore your PC to before the download. Betas are not usually recommended to download until the bugs are worked out more. Another friend also downloaded the Beta and had trouble with their PC they did a system restore and are happy now. Suzan

Thanks Susan- but i didn't download it at all.  It kept coming back as my Home Page.  But check all that went on in the Computer group, where I posted it also and got some answers.  Thanks for your input.  Bonnie
