That is really odd. I use IE 8 and XP Pro and have no problems. They must like me. :lol: |
| kvom:
IE8 has "compatibility view mode" for websites that act funny. When set, the website reverts to IE7 behavior. |
| Bernd:
Kirk, Problem solved. I added it to the "compatibility view mode" and the above problems have been eliminated. Thanks. :thumbup: Still dosen't explain why it worked ok over on HMEM and not here. Now if I could get you to fix my other computer I'd be real happy. :clap: Darren, I'v used IE for so long now I don't think I could change. I think all software has it's problems. It all depends on what other software you are running at the time. At least what Kirk mentioned has fixed my problem for now. Bernd |

Bernd What you are experiencing is exactly the same as I am getting. I too have the same differences between MadModder and HMEM forums. This happened to me over a month ago as soon as I upgraded to IE8 (also run XP). I believe that I tried the compatibility thing but that scr??ed something else up. Sometimes when you go to use the mouse to highlight text to copy and paste you have to wait a while before you get a cursor so you can copy. Usually once a day I have to reboot just to clear the memory (2 Gig) so it will function reasonably. If I am reading a post and there is a link, I click on the link and it will open a new browser window and then just sit there and work indefinitely until I hit the red X to close it. IE7 was a lot better in my mind. I regret having upgrading. I wish that I could figure out how to go back to it. Cheers :beer: Don |

Don, Sounds like almost the same problem I'm having running XP and IE7 on computer #1. Right now I'm using it to type this message. After I turned it back on it seemed to connect again. Perhaps it was the threat of the 10 pound sledge that I was going to use on it for fine tuning. :lol: Computer #2 running with XP and IE8 seems to connect ok, but downloading is like watching molasses run down a verticle surface in the middle of February. I can't figurre out if it's a problem with the computers or the connection from the ISP to my cable modem box. I call up the techs and first thing they want to do is reboot the computer and try to blame it on my equipment. They never want to say that they'll have a serice guy check out the connections up to the house. Oh well. I'm going to have to try and get a different new hard drive and load up the OP system. Then only load the web browser and see if that makes a difference. Drives are prety cheap and I can always use another disk drive in case one of my older ones craps out. Tiger Direct here comes my charge card. :lol: Regards, Bernd |
