Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: IE8 problems / unstable on Windows 7 64bit Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 8:36 am Posted by Patrick Doyle (14 messages posted) I thought I was the only one having this type of problem. I first installed Win 7 on the wife's machine. She could not open a new tab, and IE often hung. I eventually did a clean install of Win 7 and things settled down a bit. Now I have problems with Tabs not opening right away. On Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 3:06 pm, camaroz28 wrote: >IE8 is opening webpages in the first tab only.

Complete your everyday browsing activities more quickly with the new Accelerator feature." They missed out "make dinner, clean the house, take a shower whilst waiting for that lightning quick response". There's even a "Compatibilty View button" for when it doesn't work - what more could you want ? Maybe a handy "Uninstall button" would be the logical addition in the next version.

But having switched to Firefox I have not seen any issues in the past 2 weeks (fingers crossed)...

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 came out with a Rev B update to their software on December 3. This seems to have cleared everything up. I hope.
