Getting back to the original topic, I just read in another forum that the use of Spybot Search & Destroy can have some debilatating effects on Internet Explorer 8.



Already discussed on this very thread

hi falkyrn

  i know i posted a reply to your letter re the  questions i asked, IE cclean etc. it was just to tell you that the spybot s&d say there is a problem. it seems that IE has an immunization feature of spybot s&d causes slow startup.

have just gone back to the webpage and it is IE8 which has the problem.

Sorry, even re-reading that doesn't make it that clear that Spybot S & D can cause very slow operation of IE8, only slow startup.  Spybot will cause IE8 to run slow every time a new tab is opened.

So taking all that into account, I'm staying with IE7 until the bugs are ironed out.

Has anyone had trouble viewing census images on Ancestry with IE8?
After "upgrading" to IE8, Ancestry tells you to install the advanced viewer  - again ::)   then doesn't work!

Is it just me and Vista?

not too worried as Firefox works brilliantly... just curious

I have just recently installed IE8 and have had no problems at all, I also use Vista as my OS. Infact I had lots more trouble with IE7 with regards to downloading images and looking at archived messages on this site. Maybe I'm just lucky at the moment and it will all go into meltdown later.

No problems viewing Advanced Ancestry images here with IE8, Jenny, but I'm using Windows XP SP3, not Vista  :)

Just downloaded  IE8.
Was on my machine for 5 minutes, then promptly removed.
Running on XP Pro with SP3.
My machine doesn't like it one bit, machine just about stops dead.
And thats with 2gig ram into a 3.2Mhz Intel processor.
At the moment I think it's back to the drawing board Microsoft.

I received a message last week saying that one of our CDs would not run automatically on Vista (i.e. it would not open the default web browser to display its contents).

I tested the CD on our Vista machine and it was fine - but then Windows Update installed IE8 amongst other updates and guess what, the CD would not run automatically. Reverting to IE7 cured the problem. It turned out that the customer has IE8 installed as default browser.

I have been trying to obtain a solution fom Microsoft for over a week now but haven't (so far) got any further than being told to ring a premium rate support line. I'm not inclined to pay such charges when the problem is one caused by a bug in Microsoft software.

That problem is known by Microsoft, and it appears to be connected with other 3rd-party software.
