IE8 problems

HELP

The other day I recieved a automatic update, so as normal I accepted it
since then IE8 does not even load ...

Things I've tried:
Tried to uninstall IE8, but can't find it in "Remove programs"
Tried to system restore, but won't allow past the download date
Tried Re-installing it, but keeps giving me a error message "you have a newer version already installed on system"
Tried so so so many things....

Can anyone please HELP

What was the automatic update?
Have you tried starting IE without add-ons (Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Internet Explorer)?

Hi,
Go to Windows Update(Start->All Prog.-> Wind.Update), right at the bottom left you'll find "Installed Updates" and you can uninstall IE8 there.

No sorry...

it isn't in there...yet if I try and install it, it says I already have a better version installed

When you say you tried to system restore - did you actually do a system restore ?

If so , sytem restore again to undo that one - after that, you may see IE8 in the installed updates list and can uninstall it from there.

Sorry..System restore won't allow me to restore before the 02/07/09.
but the updates happened on the 01/07/09
