IE8 troubles

[talker]

I have used all versions of Internet Explorer over the years. Some have been

better than others.



I originally changed to IE8 while usiing XP and then again with Vista.

However, when I began using Windows 7 as my OS, my IE8 fell apart. It stalls,

crashes frequently. It won't load some apps like Flash player even after it

tells me I need to download the latest version when I know I already have it,

etc.



I've gone to all the MS sites looking for a way to repair IE 8 to no avail.



At this point I long for the old Repair link in Control Panel under Remove

programs. At least if I was having trouble with IE I could threaten to

uninstall it and would be presented with the Repair option. Why this option

was not included in Windows 7 is beyond me.



Now that I think about it, IE 8 is not even listed in my Remove Programs

sectiomn of Control Panel. Another oversight by MS?



Anyone have any ideas on where I should go from here? Be nice, now.



Thanks,



talker

Hi Talker,



Start by reading the Win7 help on the topic of your choice.



Did you upgrade to Win7? Did you run the Win7 readiness tests?



Win7 general Troubleshooting - Start here.......



Start>Control Panel>Troubleshooting



Regards.

Did you upgrade to Win7 or is it a brand-new computer?



Are you running Win7 64-bit?

Sounds like you are having some serious trouble, I would really

recommend reinstalling IE8 on your system (with the most updated

version), and starting from there. Does that fix anything?

Hi Kyler_IE8_Team?



The OP is discussing IE8 on Win7.

The so-called "IE8 Outreach Team" - which also calls itself the "IE8

Team" and posts from Vistaheads or simply "undisclosed" - has no formal

connection with Internet Explorer or with Microsoft. The "team" could be

just one person.
