Is there any way to restore Internet Explorer 8? It worked just great, but like a fool I upgraded to IE9 once it was out of beta. It has slowed down my computer to the speed of molasses in February. (I know because Chrome runs at normal high speed.) IE9 also crashes and hangs up constantly.

Help! There are some sites I need that are a problem on Chrome, Opera or Safari.

Thank you so much, Anonymous. This worked! Now I can actually use IE as a browser again.
