Icedrake Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 EDIT: IE 8 is just a piece of crap, it messed up my whole system. Everything started to become a crawl. So uninstalled it, and now IE 7 works like a charm, no system slowdown by piece of **** IE 8, and everything is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted March 22, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Ice, good to see you've sorted your problem out. Not being an IE person at all, my sympathy went out to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I stick with Firefox. Opera was excellent till the last build screwed me up for unknown reasons. I've had no problem with IE8 so far, just hate the fact it takes 30 minutes to install like it's a system or something. But it's not my browser of choice anyway.

So uninstalled it, and now IE 7 works like a charm, no system slowdown by piece of **** IE 8, and everything is fine. Seems there can be a reason why this can happen (the slowdowns when you have a few tabs open) and a fix.

Icedrake Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 That gives a fix for a tab slowness problem; which I didn't have. My problem used to be that IE8 took way more than a minute to fully start up. When it did, everything ran OK. But IE8 also slowed my whole system down too.

Icedrake Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 This guy's issue is what I have: On the three XP machines I installed to, one has a significant problem. I already rolled back to IE7 once yesterday, and I?m about to do it today. My problem seems different from what you describe: IE8 is extremely slow to launch. IE8 crashes when I try to close it without waiting for the complete launch. http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=2443 Comment #30. No one seems to be getting my problem. Looks like he does have the same exact problem as me: The new IE slowed user logon an extra 20 seconds in addition to being slow to launch itself. I wonder what the deal is. I suppose I could reinstall IE8 RC1, but I won?t bother. Same website. Comment #33, same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not my browser of choice anyway. yeah i think IE is really not good for your computer, why dont you just try firefox,Safari or Chrome? i think Chrome is the most beauty explorer, but it is not safe, it always shut down auto. so what a pity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ok... To make this clear... I don't use IE. I was just updating to IE8 to keep my system updated, but then IE8 screwed everything up and I had to go back to IE7. I was wondering what the problem was with IE8 and if anyone had a fix for it.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 31, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ok... To make this clear... I don't use IE. I was just updating to IE8 to keep my system updated, but then IE8 screwed everything up and I had to go back to IE7. Exactly the same in my situation! I only wanted to keep my system up-to-date with any possible security related fixes IE8 may or does have however it really bogged down my WinXP SP3 system to the point where usability was diminished in particular and my decision for reverting back to IE7: Programs not even related to IE were very slow to launch. Many of the programs I have installed took up to 3x longer for them to fully load which I just couldn't deal with on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally someone else who has the same exact problem as me, and gets what my problem is. I hope Micro$ft releases a patch or something to fix this.
