Vista - Internet Explorer 8 slow to open

I have no problems at all anymore.

You lost me there but OK. LOL

Never mind I see what you're referring to LOL


I was just curious

I have a problem on my XP pro workstation at work. I un-installed IE8 RC1 just like at home on my Vista x64 machine. I then installed IE8 final. Now all the icons in the tray show all the time. I can't even manually hide them. That is one thin I noticed. It IS the right version (for XP). It has to have something to do with IE....the icons were hidden before the download. Anyone else seen this?

No I do not have that problem either, but I will download the IE8 final version on our other PC with Windows XP Home and report back.

I restarted again and now the icons are working fine. I got a little jumpy there. haha Everthing looks good now.

all good here and see no diffence in load times
except an issue with norton's phising filter

I have no issues on the Windows XP home either with IE 8. It does seem to load a tad faster than with the IE 7. I uninstalled my Norton 360 as it seem to cause a problem with the shut down of the pc with Vista.

Hello CodygIE8team,
Would you be kind enough to tell me if the final version of the IE8 will be offered through the WU?
I am running VISTA Ultimate 64bit version of the OS.
I tried the WU few times today but the IE8 is not offered through that. Do you know if that will ever happen?
Thanking you for an answer.

I have the same problem and did not change any settings, add any add-ins. The answers Cody gives are a cop out. If IE8 is better it should also open as quickly. Is there a way to revert to IE 7? Seems to be the best option barring a sensible answer or fix. Anyone out there knows a safe procedure? (I also seem to have IE8 wanting to revert to a different home page every time the desktop is booted (MSN...did you guess?)
thanks

I'm not updating anything now until windows 10;
the ("you can't do anything without M$ & we know what you are doing") OS comes out.

That goes for the OS and IE


thanks for the smile,

Carmine
