What sites were you going to that said those messages? IE8 is working great for me and haven't run into compatibility problems yet (although some websites render incorrectly)

Anyways I'm just testing it and it seems really stable now, which wasn't the case when Beta 2 and RC1 came out.

Well as far as i know its my aol mail, hulu, tagged "like a myspace" Ive only had it for a few hours. Most of the time it comes up with a box that has the "Internet Exploerer has stopped working" Can i redownload it? I dought i can go back to IE7? I just have a really unstable IE and its no fun!

You can uninstall IE8 via Control Panel--> Programs and Features--> Installed Updates.

Ill try that i have foxfire but i cant watch hulu because it says it needs a flashplayer and it wont download one!

redduc900 · 05-03-09, 12:05 PM

By "foxfire", I assume you mean Firefox? You can download the Flash Player plugin for Firefox from Adobe here...

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Download the *.exe, close Firefox, then run the executable.
