Winxpie8

WINXPHome32BIt ver2002 SP3 (AMD XP300+ 2.17Gb Ram2Gbs 2Xhd both
75Gbs) VID ATI Radeon 9600/9550/X1050 series

Hi are any of you getting this sort of problem?
Since upgrading from ie7 to ie8 roughly 6mths ago I find slowly at
first but gradually becoming more and more frequently while I am using
IE8 it crashes. Most times it will recover but occasionally it wil BSD
and reboot. I send the reports as requested by the MS system but do not
restore from any earlier points as I believe the IE8 is itself the
problem. I had hoped over time MS would eventually come out with a
hotfix or some other repair but that is looking dim and distant.

I did not have this or any other problems before and now regret
installing IE8.

I use OE8 and dont want to risk losing my em system as I have an
enormous amount os stuff there -- so although I would like to revert to
IE7 but I am wary of the change.

I am a regular player of CS with no problems experienced there and I
have no other probs with my kit including OE8 (other than when I look at
my restore points I see a lot of Software Distribution Service 30
entries(problem?? dont know).

Would be interested in any viewpoints you may have.

There is no such thing as "OE8". <-- Outlook Express is still and will
always be Outlook Express 6 - latest version 6.00.2900.5512 I believe.

Revert back to Internet Explorer 7 if you wish - it should have no effect on
Outlook Express.

Or I would scan for malware, update your Windows Update system, CHKDSK,
defragment, uninstall any third party firewalls and use the built in Windows
XP Firewall, cleanup old files, uninstall unused applications, uninstall any
third-party plugins you have - especially toolbars - for Internet Explorer
and install the latest versions of the ones you do need (quicktime, flash,
shockwave, real alternative maybe...) and ensure that Windows XP and all the
applications you have installed are as up to date as possible.

Hi Shenan, thank you for replying.
Just to be sure, as I understand it from you I may remove IE8 and OE6
will still be there?

O K and Thanks Shenan.
One last question, how do I retain access to all the varied and many
sites and favourites I have built up over the last year before I dump
IE8?
Regards,
John

Public Service Warning about PCBUTTS1 (TheRealTruth):

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting
directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to
pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access
to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

Do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their posting
identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?

Stalking, even in usenet is a crime, there are enough pages from your
filthy site to prove you're stalking me in your posts, your sig lines
also prove you're stalking me and others.

You had best say a prayer if you download anything from TRTs site.
Make absolutely sure you have a backup and that it works also..

Is it like Microsoft doing the same? As I understand it, M$ has stolen
somebody's ideas and incorporated in Word and now they have been forced
to remove the Word from circulation and compensate the original
creator? Please enlighten us on this.

As long as TRT's tools work who cares where he got them from? Do you
care? i don't. Don't misunderstand me. I am not a fan of TRT or his
products or his website. In fact I haven't visited his site in my life
and I am nearly 22 now!

You don't care about stealing? OK, got it. Sigh, must be a newage
thing...

We had an issue with iE8 not opening on a customer's PC. It showed up
in task manger processes, but would not open. The fix was to run
CCleaner with advanced options checked.

iE opened and functioned properly and without issue afterwards. We
suspect cache corruption.

This may not help everyone, but may help some.
