IE 8

[Pghpooh]

HI
I see IE 8 can be downloaded now.

Can I go back to IE7 if the new version gives me problems or if I just don't like it for now?

Yeah, it's uninstallable. You'd find it among your installed Windows updates as Windows Internet Explorer 8.

MS even has a support article on it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700

Yes, I even went back too it.
IE8 kept taking forever to open for some reason.

HI
Sorry I am slow to get back here.
Thanks for the help.
I will wait a while before updating to it letting more people find thse last minute bugs that come out when the masses use it.

Yes, it can be uninstalled. However - I just converted two desktops, one XP and one Vista to IE8, and a Vista laptop. All three are performing very well - no problems. IE8 is very cutomizable, and with little effort, you can make it almost the same as IE7. In all of my systems it loads faster than IE7.

Are you running Spybot S&D by any chance? Try these steps...worked for me to get rid of the nasty delay when starting IE8.

1. Open regedit
2. Go to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap
3. Delete the following sub-folders: Domains, EscDomains, Ranges
4. Go to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P
5. Delete the sub-folder History
6. Repeat steps 2-5, but in HKLM.

WOW That speeded my IE8 WAY UP.
I don't have Spybot installed, so I didn't know if it would work, but it did. (I may have had SD installed previously and uninstalled it, don't remember)
Could you tell me how you found this fix? I was wondering if it will affect my security, etc.
However, I would still like you to know how AWESOME this fix is. I was actually going to try a clean install to see if that fixed my ie8 speed problem, but no more.

Glad to hear it worked for you! Kind of a nuisance that we have to go through a bunch of steps to get it working like it should, but whatever.

It took me literally 2 seconds of Googling to find...
