From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 24 Apr 2010 10:04 [Crosspost to IE General] IE8 is much more secure than IE6. I note that you had problems when you installed IE7, too: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser/browse_frm/thread/49117f1f2a75cd80/caa5e388d7bf159b > ...IE6 is more responsive than 8 1.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed IE8? 4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)? > I wish there is a way to have both IEs on the same computer.

I wish there is a way to have both IEs on the same computer. So why did you prefix the body of your post with the ">" quoting character? Is this your question, or did you copy and paste someone else's question? A better question would be: IE8 or IE6: Which is supported by Microsoft and which is getting dropped for support at web sites? Tis a no-brainer to answer even by yourself. Have you tested IE8 in its no add-ons mode to make sure that you didn't leave your host polluted with old and incompatible add-ons for IE? Maybe you need a newer version of any security software you installed (anti-virus, firewall, HIPS, etc) that interrogate and can corrupt your web traffic.

If you skipped IE7 so you wouldn't have noticed when that functional deficiency was added. Essentially now we can have 1 window open in Fullscreen mode at a time. You can expedite the hunt for your one Fullscreen mode window by using right-click on the other IE window's Taskbar icons and looking for the one which contains Auto-Hide in its window menu. That would be the one you would have to toggle out of Fullscreen mode in order to go back to find the one that you wanted to be in Fullscreen mode and then use F11 on it (assuming you can remember after all that distraction what it was you were trying to do in the first place.) An alternative is simply to use a window's Maximized mode whenever F11 fails. >> copy and paste with IE 8 sometimes it does not copy and >> consequently paste the exact copy, with IE6 all the time a carbon copy. >> Has anybody noticed the above mentioned defects and differences, please >> advise. >> I wish there is a way to have both IEs on the same computer. I think the right-click, Copy command is usually pretty reliable but I agree that sometimes Ctrl-c doesn't always seem to work. However, the problem is not unique to IE IMO. --- "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:u2WjXd74KHA.620(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > [Crosspost to IE General] ....
