Since I upgraded to IE8,
1)I can no longer open MS office attachments such as .doc or excel in Windows Mail
2) Many images on websites are no longer viewable, just show as a box with a red x. I click on the "compatability" button, but that doesnt work with either.

Any solutions?
I tried unclicking the dont allow attachments button, didnt work.

I work at an large ISP here in the states and we have TONS of problems with IE8, try the knowledge base on Microsoft Corporation of if you can uninstall and revert back to IE7. We have seen IE8 corrupt and force a full OS reinstall, so be careful.

Try uninstalling the toolbar and see if that fixes your problem.

I have already done that, by using the link I posted above. I was just wondering retrospectively if it was that , that had started the problems to begin with. AS I said, I can now open Windows mail attachments. And currently IE EXplorer 8 has no addons and is running fine.

Oh I read your reply wrong my bad. It could have been a bad addon the only way to find out is installing the addons you had one by one until you couldn't do in your previous post.
