Hi i recently downgraded my IE8 on vista, down to IE7 and have been waiting for IE8 to be fully released.. now from what i am reading in MS emails, it looks like its up and running as they are offering tools to upgrade ur websites, so they can be compatible with IE8 and so on... anyways b4 i go thru upgrade again, i was hoping someone could shed some light on weather its ready or not... i currently use IE8 on my win7 OS, but that one doesn't seem to be ready yet... so don't know???
thanks
husskii

As far as I know it is fully released. But, I installed IE 8 and when I opened favourites - it kept crashing. Also, for some reason it wouldn't open links!! So, I reverted back to IE7. I guess I will stick with IE7 until IE 8 is available through windows update. Anyone suggests that I should do anything differently? Let me know. Thanks in advance.

I did have the same issues as yours then I found a fix in another thread in this forum, I had to set "Print Spooler" service to automatic and my IE8 works fine ever since. You could give it a try,HTH.

i guess it still has a few bugs, but a little strange.. my prob was that wen ever i right click, to save a pic for example, then it would auto crash restart crash again and continue doing that till i stopped the processor, also would crash on certain sites..

with ur crashing, do u get DEP error at all? it might be addons or u may have to stop dep...
checkout; DEP - Turn On or Off for Programs - in the Tutorials, it might help!

there is a how to tut by brink...

Thanks bummy fan. But, I just got sick of it crashing. So, I will use IE 7 - as I have no issues with IE7 whatsoever. So, will use that - but don't know when I must install IE 8. I was looking forward to installing IE8 - a bit disappointed about what happened!
