| 769618 | 2009-05-01 01:25:00 | I'm not sure where, or if, I went wrong installing IE8 but I immediately noticed that it was slower than IE7 on my pc. (XP). Same sites using FF came up so much faster. Rightly or wrongly I suspected the favorites toolbar and systematically removed most things from there, it was still fairly slow. At this stage I have removed IE8 and am back to using IE7. Cheers, Marnie |

| 769619 | 2009-05-01 02:51:00 | Hi, BE WARNED-- I have been helping a lady set her pooter going after sitting and watching it for seven months,out of fear, of it biting her or somrthing- no kidding !! :illogical Having been been helped as she should have had long ago, she has been excitedly using it since,---- except yesterday she saw I/E 8 and she downloaded it and installed it- result POOTER FROZE on start up after the welcome When a tech said that as her edition was XP home it might be the cause--and the lady said "oh yes I saw that window recommending it be for XP Pro and Vista- suggesting XP Home would not take it, but ignored that warning" She subsequently got going ,and back to her normal use, only since we uninstalled v8 in safe mode,reverting back automatically to v7 Is this a co-incidence or not- but now the pooter is going well effie c :banana |

| 769620 | 2009-05-01 02:59:00 | I doubt IE would freeze a PC on startup. It was probably something else If it froze when you ran IE, then that would be different. Because some programs / addons dont work with it Its got nothing to do with XP Home or Pro. If it says its for XP it means both (unless it says its only for 1 or the other) Sounds like the tech doesnt know what he's talking about. Or was she talking about the latest WGA component, which is only for Pro (and probably shouldnt appear in XP Home anyway). |

| 769621 | 2009-05-01 03:16:00 | Works on my XP Home PC, but is slow to start up. When I tried to load the following page news.bbc.co.uk it wouldn't load the graphic, saying Flash Player 9 is needed (I have 8). But FF does it, no problem. I'll be staying with that :thumbs: |

| 769623 | 2009-05-01 06:34:00 | IE8 is better (feature wise) and probably stability as well But don't expect to be able to customise the toolbars as much as you could in IE7. Which is what pisses me off the most about it. |
