I did the IE8 upgrade last night. I like IE8 better. Websites are rendering better and screens actually look clearer or easier to read for some reason.

Hey, thanks for your attention and excellent advice, I really appreciate it. Yeah, it was a load off my mind, getting things squared away after so long. There was so much funky shit happening because it was so out of date that I wouldn't have been surprised if it had just gone south permanently...

I'm good to go. TB is pretty nice once you figure out its nuances. I've got all of address book info and I'm getting all of my mail from yahoo. Yahoo! Thanks so much for your help!

OK, I'm making progress. I'm getting all of my mail on TB now, and I have gotten TB to import my OE address book. However, it only imported the work phone numbers, and not the personal ones. Is there anyway to snag those also?[/I]

How do I tell TB to download my mail from yahoo? I have 2 email addys on yahoo, and TB seems to be getting only the primary one. I don't see an option in TB enter alias names. ??

I installed TB, it looks pretty nice. But remember, one of the reasons for my xp upgrade was because IE and OE were so out of date, and in the case of OE, it just quit working altogether. But I've got a big address book, so I figured I could import it into TB. When I did the address book copy...

Will TBird run OK with IE as the browser, or is Mozilla required?

I don't have any love for OE, but I've got an addressbook with a lot of entries that I would like to backup or save to a new email client. Is that what this baby will do? If so, TBird, here I come.

Are you guys saying that OE is no longer supported/available?

I'm curious, why didn't I get IE8 when I did the update at MS?

BTW, I had this OE problem before I upgraded xp, but the upgrade didn't fix it, as I had hoped. Is OE part of IE?

One problem I've got is that OE won't work. When I bring it up, it hangs and I have to kill the process or it will just sit there spinning forever. I guess the executable is corrupted. How can I fix this?

It took over an hour to download all of the MS website updates after I installed the CD. Nope, I've got IE7, I went to Win Upd and it doesn't have anything new for me. How do I get IE8?

So, does SP3 have a builtin AV or do I need to get one?

I did the upgrade, it seems to be working for the most part. Does SP3 have a decent AV now, I was using AVG previously in SP1? What about a firewall, do I need one, does it already have one? I was using Sygate before. I'm getting an "IE has encountered an error and needs to shut down now"...
