IE 9 Incompatability With Websites

I just recently purchased a new Dell XPS 8300. It was delivered with IE 9 pre-installed.  I have found that many of the websites I use on a daily basis do not work with IE 9.  I have tried compatability mode and they do not work there as well.  They will work on a Dell laptop I have that uses IE 8.  Is there a way I can downgrade IE 9 to IE 8?  Also, is there a 32 bit IE 9 version installed on the computer?  I thought I might try that as well.

I think Firefox is a poor workaround (sorry ieee).  You can uninstall IE9 by going to Control Panel, click on View installed updates, go to Windows Internet Explorer 9 and Uninstall.  

Before you do though ...

IE9 is the most standards-compliant version of IE available.  What sites are they?  How are they displaying improperly - do you have a screenshot?  If you have more than one or two sites that do not display properly, then I'd say you may have a different problem.  I have not seen more than a couple of sites not work properly in IE9 of the hundreds I've visited.  If you are using "internal" sites or an "intranet" or "extranet", there is a good chance the developers were not necessarily making any efforts to make it compliant at all.  If they are public sites (again, if I can check them, maybe I can tell you if it is the site or your PC), then there is no excuse for them not working properly in IE9.

I am trying to access Chase Bank N/A among others.  I cannot log into their website when using IE 9 while I can using IE 8 and IE 7.  Chase told me their website is not yet compatible with IE 9.  There are several others that I see issues with but this is the main one I am having a problem with.

Shame on Chase.  IE9 has been available for 10 months.  I however have used IE9 on Chase.com without issue:



Does yours display differently?  What is the problem you're having with it?
