Guest Krush Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 First time poster, so not sure where this goes. A couple of problems to get advice on what to do. First, after installing IE 8 beta, it hangs if it using the java application. If you open several browsers that use java on it's web pages, it hangs up and you can't close it. Only way for me to close it, is to use task manager and chose end application. Question is, is there a fix for this not to happen? Second question is, some websites use .PHP on them. I thought maybe it had to do with IE 8 beta causing the problem. But i also notice the same problem in firefox, but not as bad as using IE. Could the problem be tied to the service pack 3 that was released? And is there a fix or something that can be done to view these webpages correctly? Thanks.

Guest Krush Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 RE: IE 8 and problem viewing websites that use .php Thanks for the link to help with IE 8. Any idea about where or what I should do about websites using .php? I go to irc galleria, which is a finnish site and a friend posts pictures there. Whenever I try to view the webpage, there is a black square that is the size of her pictures on the site. You can't see see much because it covers half of the original picture and general information on the user. Any idea about this and what can be done?

Note When you uninstall Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, the system reverts to the earlier version of Internet Explorer, and Assistive Technology programs perform as they did previously. </Q> After rolling back to IE7 try to run a thorough scan for malware and viruses then clean up and update your Java application.

Guest Mick Murphy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 RE: IE 8 and problem viewing websites that use .php Krusk, I went to "irc galleria"; it loaded OK, and I could click on the photos to enlarge them fine. This computer is XP Pro SP3, with IE7. That rules out SP3. That leaves IE8 as the culprit. -- Mad Mike "Krush" wrote: > Thanks for the link to help with IE 8. > > Any idea about where or what I should do about websites using .php?

Guest Krush Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 RE: IE 8 and problem viewing websites that use .php Thank you Mick and Nass for your help. I wondered if it was the new update because i have the same problem in firefox. I am using xp home edition. I guess i will go back to IE 7. :) "nass" wrote: > > > "Krush" wrote: > > > First time poster, so not sure where this goes.
