| Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit / Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit | Re: IE8 final release today I think I'll probably wait until it comes down through Windows Update, I know when I was using it in Windows 7 there was a compatibility problem with the payment system of one of the sites I use on a regular basis. |

| Vista x64 | Re: IE8 final release today Just got it installed and here are a couple things I encountered: 1) Upon first use it crashed my Vista Sidebar...going to reboot and see if that solves it. 2) I had a folder in my favorites list named "links" with a group of similar sites I browse and it somehow thinks this is the "favorites" folder which it is not, it is actually a subfolder in my favorites list. I noticed this issue with the beta version. 3) I have Vista 64bit and trying to open the IE 64 bit from your start menu causes an IE crash. I guess there is only one usable version of IE now where you could use the 64 bit version but not many pages supported it. Maybe IE 8 for Vista 64 is all inclusive in the one version? That is all I found so far but IE8 seems really fast and full of new features to get used to. Last edited by edilee012; 03-19-2009 at 07:06 PM.. |

| Vista x64 | Re: IE8 final release today Follow up to my last post: IE8 borks the Vista Sidebar. Rebooting only resulted in the sidebar crashing upon reboot without even opening IE at all. Did they even run IE8 on a Vista system with the sidebar active?? I mean how do things like this get past beta testing? |

| Windows 7 x64 (7229) | Re: IE8 final release today I have Vista x64 and IE8 runs great. I have had no problems. I am running the sidebar. I was running RC1 and un-installed it before installing the final and have had no problems. I hope you get it worked out. Some of these Vista gurus can help you. |

| Vista x64 | Re: IE8 final release today I uninstalled IE8 and the sidebar was working again. Tried installing IE8 one more time and as soon as PC rebooted as required by IE8 I get the sidebar problems again so it is directly linked to IE8. It sent the information to MS so maybe this will be solved soon and I will run without the sidebar for now. |
