Problems after un-installing IE9

[trpalan]

I recently installed Internet Explorer 9 by mistake - thinking it was a normal update, not realising that it was just a beta version - I didn't like it and went through the procedure of uninstalling the update in order to get back to IE8. Ever since then I've had problems.

If I start IE8, then my Windows Live Mail won't connect to my servers to download mail. If I start the mail program first and download my mail then IE8 won't load any webpages just keeps showing trying to connect. My internet connection is fine - only problems with these applciations.

Any ideas why and any solutions?

Thanks!
