Has anyone out there had any experience of IE8??
-
Hi Mike,what is it and what does it do,Jim
-
Hi,
I woke up one morning to find it on my Vista machines. I’ve been too busy using it to learn much about it. Nothing bad has happened, so far, and it seems to be better at enlarging print, etc. while keeping things centered.

Likewise,it appeared on my Vista set-up after I said "go ahead". ;D
Doesn't seem to be a major innovation. Seems more like V7.1 to me.
In former days, I don't think Microsoft would have classed it as a major upgrade. Maybe they're running out of things to blow the trumpets about. (Go on, Terry. Boldly split infinitives where no man has done before).
-
Well I have just installed it and my world has not shaken!!
-
I'm just going to Keep Internet Explorer 7 I think ;D
I like to keep what I have, I'm not the sort of person that likes too much change, for example, a new MSN upgrade was released recently, but I haven't downloaded it yet, some say they have had problems once installing the new MSN?

Hihi. Yep. its more safer too :) so i dont need to be worry ;D

Internet Explorer 8 is what I got and I like it. It make searching the web easier and better than the Internet Explorer 7 all the way to the first Internet Explorer. It even has a new tollbar at the top.
-
If I want to loose two inchess off the top of every screen, I have four basic options, I think:
(1) Use Vista with its stupid, wide-bordered, resource hogging default themes.
(2) Fill Internet Explorer with useless, resource hogging toolbars from MSN, Yahoo and everyone else and his brother.
(3) Stretch the picture past the borders of the screen
(4) And here's the best way: put some masking tape around the edge of the screen.
You can tell I'm not impressed, if you look arefully for the hidden meanings... :evil:

I'm not at all happy with it. >:( >:( I downloaded it and it blew my computers mind. When I tried to open it a message came up to the effect that Windows refused access. I then deleted it off my machine and did three or four system restores to get IE 7 back and that was the end of that. When I try to open IE all that happens is a crash back to desktop. Terry has been absolutely superb with his kind help but I still have no IE access. Again Terry has been marvellous and sent me Firefox so at least I am now able to access the forum again. I am now trying to catch up with the goings on on the forum, having been absent for nearly two days.

Hi Angus.
Glad to see you up and running. At least you can connect to the Internet now.
Thoughts:
(1) Does Windows Update work?
(2) I am looking at ways to reinstall Windows without loosing your settings or needing to reinstall any programs. I have done it myself in the past, but it was quite complex. So I'm looking to see if there is an easier way.

Hi all that will get the IE 8 un installed, Here are the safe way to do it.
1. go to control panel
2. thus programs and functions
3. click on the link in the left menu show the installed updates
4.Wait to the list are completed and scroll down to IE 8 Languish pack.(if you have that update if not go to 5)and uninstall this first, take some time so be pasiont.
after you PC have restarted go to the same please 1. 2. and 3.
5.and you find IE8 uninstall and let the PC work to it restarted again
and then you have IE 7.1 back and work perfect and IE 8 are history.
I will Thank Microsoft support Norway for this quic servise :thumbs:

I suspect that Tore had the Norway language pack installed.
If you are using English just follow the second part, and after a few minutes and a restart you come back to IE7. You have to right click IE8 in the list of installed updates and it gives you an option to uninstall.
Let's hope it works for Traddles too.
Thanks Tore

Hi all!
Traddles' problem is a little more complex that a simple uninstall. Somewhere along the line either one of the million+ dlls has got corrupted/wrong version and/or there seems to be a registry problem.
*****
Regarding uninstalling IE8, I did that yesterday.
I was doing some work for a client. I had saved everything to the server and sent a backup to my other office (8 miles up the road). I went off and made a cup of coffee. When I came back, there was the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. I'd never had that on this PC before, so I was a bit surprised. I rebooted, but it went straight to the same screen. It was a BAD_POOL_HEADER message, which was unusual...
The PC booted OK into Vista, so I knew that the hardware was fine. I ran scandisk and apart from a cross-linked file, it found no problems. Now the only thing I had done recently was to install IE8 when I was helping Angus.
Rather than spend all day finding a messed up DLL, I simply inserted the Windows Home Server restore disk. That goes to the WHS computer and downloads whichever of the last 50 backups I wish to install.
I selected the backup from 1 a.m. the same day, and after a while the PC was back as it had been, as if nothing had ever happened.
I LOVE Windows Home Server. That's twice it has saved me an immense amount of work! (Last time was when a hard disk went bang).
IE8? No way...

Hi Tore and Terry,
I just got my computer back ;D. Everything is working OK now but I found the chap who fixed it had put IE6 on ???. However the update symbol appeared on the task bar (bottom right) so I updated and the 4th update was IE7. Now everything is back to normal, but the man who fixed it was not in work today so all I could be told was that the machine was fixed and in good working order with all my original stuff still present. Cost £35, which I reckon was worth it as it has saved me a lot of heartache. ::)

Glad to hear all ok with you PC again Angus, IE 8 No way Newer again
And agree Terry Windows Home Server, is good, i think i will bay it

Hi Angus.
Worth every penny, I think.
I know what he did, and I think I might even know which 100 or so DLLs might have caused it. The main thing is that you're back and working now!
And agree Terry Windows Home Server, is good, i think i will bay it
It is beautiful. It runs on a fairly low-spec PC. Doesn't need a keyboard or a monitor, as you are supposed to do it all remotely (although I prefer to log on and do it directly). It's what is known as a "Headless Box". You need keyboard and monitor to set it up, but after that you put the PC away somewhere and leave it to run.
The only thing is to make sure you stuff it with hard disk space. Make sure that each disk is 1TB or more and all will be wonderful. You can add disks at any stage and it will add them to the "pool" very simply. It will even use USB drives, either as a secondary backup system or as another storage drive. Once you have more than one drive, it shuffles things around to make sure that all data is held on at least two disks.

I will bay it that for sure Tanks Terry for the input i will read more on MS web page about it, that's i believe are one good thing to have less problems

I got the operating system for £79. You might have to pay a bit more (I get a special deal with Microsoft), but not much more.
It is worth every penny to me. If a PC has a serious problem I can just run the restore disk and it goes back to when it was last OK. If a hard disk goes bang, or even if I just want to put a newer or larger disk in, I just change the hadrware, boot from the restore disk and hey presto! it's all done. Wonderful.
I really don't know why Microsoft aren't shouting about WHS from the Rooftops. I could even forgive them for Vista, Office 2007 and IE8 after WHS!

The latest SP version of WHS is a much better than the RC1. Lots more features.
Also, go to the WHS web site once you've set it all up. There are loads of add-ons available. :thumbs:
