This does not work with XP , does it?

I’m trying to uninstall explorer 9 as it has slowed down my pc greatly,but when i go to control panal add/remove windows explorer is not on the list anywhere..where can it be,I am using it
Greetings all: I hope that this is not too long-winded … I am running Win 7 on a new LeNovo all-in-one: when Microsoft brought out the IE9 beta I downloaded it and enjoyed a much improved I Explorfer.
An unrelated problem had my ISP claiming that my IE was causing a problem on their Security Program which I had installed. I removed the IE9 portion of my browser, and subsequently my ISP took responsibility for the ‘problem’ and fixed it. This left me with “some” version of IE, which won’t even go to very many URLs, and other problems. I have tried to download IE9 – but it will not install because it cannot mesh with whatever IE that I have currently.
I am far from bneing an expert and at age 70 I am on the downside of the learning curve too !
My thinking is that I should remove any IE components which I still have installed and then download IE9 … but I am aware that things are also seldom that straightforward ! If anyone could offer some advice here.it will be greatly appreciated: right at the moment I cannot go to very many URLs for help.
Thanxmuch in advance / John in Canada
