Internet Explorer 8 has issues with some sites

Hello,

My computer automatically downloaded Internet Explorer 8 last week. So far I am not impressed! I have found that it does not load some sites (eg. Facebook and sometimes Google), or takes an age for it to load them up. Sometimes when IE8 is loading up iteslf, it goes to a page saying 'Internet Connection Problem" or something in the top left corner.

I wonder if there is a new download patch (is that what it is called?!) or something that can resolve this problem, or some way that I can revert to Internet Explorer 7?

Thanks very much,

Matt

Not an answer to your question but have you had font size problems after you were updated to IE8?

Try disabling an add-on "SSV HelperClass", you can do that by
Tools-> Managed Add-Ons-> Enable,Disable Add-Ons
Right click this add-on and click the disable Radio button
Hope this will resolve your issue.
If you want to revert to IE7, Go to All Programs-> Windows Update-> Installed Updates
You can uninstall IE8 there.
