Re: Any problems with IE 8?

Chuck,
Not sure the issues are the same, I've encountered some issues with IE8,
especially working with multiple windows and tabs:
1. click a link on some emails or sites can end up with multiple tabs
opening on different IE8 windows.
2. right click on a link to open in a new tab, a tab opens but hangs saying
"connecting ..." but never connects.
3. click a link and if Skype is active, a new IE8 window will open but often
hang saying "connecting ... but never connects.

I make a point of manually deleting all the contents of the temporary
internet files and Temp directory, regularly.
This will sometimes resolve some of the problems associated with pages that
don't load or don't load properly.

Subject: [PCTECH] Any problems with IE 8?

Hi Folks,
We have a software vendor (Time and Attendance, etc) that is telling us
to dump IE8 and go back to IE7.

We have virtually identical PC's on Windows XP Pro patched with the same
levels, etc. And some have this problems logging into this vendors site
and most don't. This app is nothing fancy, no flash, etc.

On one of the problem PC's they (the vendor) said they uninstalled .NET
Framework 3.5 SP1 and that fixed the access problem to them. Even though
they admitted they had .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed on their PC and
didn't have this problem... Well correct that; just heard the problem
returned this morning on that PC.

When you try and login to their site it tells you you need to be running
IE 5 or greater and then it gives you a link to Microsoft where it takes
you to download - IE 8 ! The one they want you to remove...

I'm maintaining THEY (the vendor) have the problem and we can't be
removing this and that and then when we have no problem with ANY other
site.

So is anyone else having issues with IE 8 ?

Thanks !

Chuck
