Here's why IE8 crashes

I changed to Firefox

I changed to Firefox and now I have no problems!!! (I will also test Chrome as it looks pretty cool!)

Typical Microsoft

IE8 is typical of Microjunks attitude towards it's client base. For many years they have been releasing incomplete programs and operating systems...possibly to meet unrealistic deadlines. Then we all suffer through their growing pains and ceaseless patches. When it finally seems that they have worked out all the bugs, they release a new version that is invariably unstable and/or incomplete, and so the cycle begins again. My advice to you is to consider EVERY release of a MS product as a BETA release and if you want to be a part of the BETA testing fine, but if not, be patient and don't fix what ain't broke.

IE8

Virtually every session of IE8 results in a crash. (98% crash rate) God forbid if I tell it to restart a session as I hit the BSD. My system is 64 bit Vista 2 months old. Firefox didn't fair any better. I couldn't shut it down thru task manager. Even tho it wasn't running, TM listed it as a running app. A forced reboot was the only way to terminate it. My 2 cents worth is neither one is worth having. Hard to believe that 25 plus years of development and no one can get a damn browser to work right.

Microsoft's Standards

I can't even get IE8 to load, it says "Connecting..." for forever. I cant even use the close button to exit it, i have to go into Task Manager to terminate the process.

Microsoft must be in short supply when it comes to decent programers, guess there might be a job opening? o_O
(I mean c'mon, how can u stuff up an web browser program? Seriously!)

IE8

I crashed on the IE8 download, only my system won't reboot past the Dell opening page. Can't get to F12 or setup or anything. what now?

IE8 sold me on FireFox

With the continual problems with IE8, one of which included blocking me from accessing a university login to download tech class lectures, I finally threw in the towel and moved to FireFox as my main browser. I don't see IE8 as progress -- unless regularly having to restart and having your browser control your access is what you are looking for.

>Firefox, which I'd used a bit before, has been great. Thanks MS, I would never have made the transition had you not produced such a backwards product as IE8.

RE: IE8 changing security settings automatically

I have just installed IE8 and am not pleased. The settings in advanced, especially security, get automatically switched. I switch back to DEFAULT and its fine for a while, then the browswer starts acting up, not allowing entrance to sites, and I check........advanced settings are changed. I changed to IE8 cause IE7 was doing the same things.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Frustrated.

IE8 Major Issue

I just loaded IE8 onto my work laptop. I am really kicking myself now for not doing a little research. Now, I cannot even get to the internet. I am not sure what to do as the control panel will not open either so I cannot uninstall. Anybody have any ideas on what to do here?

IE8 blows

At first I didn't notice some of the things that weren't right, but from it shutting down after every download, to not saving my settings on the homepage, it definately has issues. I guess I'm alittle surprised that one microsoft product won't play well with another microsoft product. I unistalled IE8 and now IE7 shares the same issues. I may try to uninstall again and then system restore to back before I ever loaded IE8 and see if that helps. Otherwise I may be looking at Firefox.
