Internet Explorer 8 - Comments Page 3

Can't do online banking since I installed IE8. I like the features but can't figure out what should be enabled in security custom level settings to make the pages display properly. Bank tech support doesn't know either. Tx

I found a cool contest Microsoft is running for Internet Explorer 8 - much better than their other videos promoting the browser. Users get to submit their own and the winner gets $2,500! http://www.brickfish.com/MSFTInternetExplorer8

I downloaded IE8 and it worked fine for a while... then I started getting "blue screens" telling me something about win 32.sys? I don't have time to play games with it so I dumped it. I use FireFox 3.5 and Chrome which is very fast but somewhat limited. I guess IE8 will probably be bug free in a couple of years?

I am unable to install IE8 (will download but installation will not complete even after using the so-called FixIt tool) and after reading the comments I am glad I did not do it. I will stay with FF and I do like Chrome.

I have twice tried to install IE 8 on my computer both times my computer went crazy error messages, freezing and directing me to AV360 security program. What's up with that anyway? It seems like more and more web sites are using sleeper programs that wake up when you download the original website's program. I'm really frustrated with this kind of "watch our program sneek up on you" mentality. Any comments on this?

I have installed IE* three times in the past 6 weeks and I have a "state-of-the-art system as of 09/11/08 so there should not be any problems. Every time '8" worked fine ONCE then the next time I tried to enter the program nothing happened PERIOD. Using the install/delete feature of windows I have deleted "8", my system has automatically reverted to IE7 without any negative results. I will not attempt to install "8" untill I am sure that my system can handle it or, conversely untill "8" is compatable with my system.

Since I upgraded to IE8, I get an error message when I trying opening a PDF. It advises me I have to have Reader version 8 or 9. Problem is, 9 is the version I have!

For what ever reason I have never had any of the problems outlined above with IE8 or any prior version. FF and IE8 are installed and working on my three computers with no problems choosing which to run at any given time. I like FF for general browsing; however, I cannot use it with my banking or any other time I need to print a receipt or other document to file. A long time ago Adobe had a program called Active Share that came bundled with Adobe Photo 4.0. This program is no longer offered or supported but I can print to file using it with IE8. Using it with FF to print to file produces a document that seems to be in a Middle Eastern language I cannot read or in computer code.

I downloaded IE8 about 2 wks ago and have trouble with it crashing and freeze up, also computer is very very slow. sometimes it won't completly re-boot before it freezes up. what can I do to prevent this problem. Help

i have just hooked-up my Toshiba laptop to my HP printer for the first time. Everything went fine...i plugged in the usb cable, installed the disk when asked. Printing went beautifully. But this morning, I have a message stating that my HP printer is not compatible with IE8 and could cause a crash. Do I somehow uninstall my printer
(that would make me sad), or do i uninstall IE8? (not so sad, but will that mean no IE at all?) Okay, I know it shows: I don't know the first thing about any of this, and I just hope someone will jump in hear and give me some advice. Thanx!!!

I updated to IE8 and now when I type in field boxex like the one used to post this comment it is extremely small i cand even see it its just little dots

I had IE8 on both my Dell XP desktop and Dell Inspiron laptop. I had all sorts of problems, like this or that does not work with IE8 and to go here or there to fix the problem etc. I had printing problems and slowness problems also and went back to IE7 and plan to stay with 7 till the problems with 8 are worked out. I have auto updates set to tell me I have updates to make sure 8 doesn't sneek back on my computers.

i have ie8 i did a compleat reinstall and did it just like microsoft said to when u do the install like they tell you to you dont seem to have trouble but thats just me.on some pc i have not got it to work the order you do things dose seem to matter. thank for your time
