Use this Microsoft Fix it automated soltion to remove IE8 if you need to. But if you are only having problems with certain Web sites, you might want to try Compatibility View first. Resetting Internet Explorer can also solve some problems and avoid uninstallingAnonymous

Hi I'm am trying to download / instal my order auto desktop pro 6 and it keeps having this pop up ....or saying that I can save the file here because I'm missing my installer! I previously downloaded it on another computer but it was running to slow and I need to get my art work done ...so is there any way you can help me?
The website help is doing nothing to help me resolve the issue and its getting rather frustrating!
Thanks
