Hi martin.w
You should see 'Compatability View Settings' available from the tools menu as this image shows:

If you don't see this, go to Help and 'About Internet Explorer' and tell me what version number it says you are running.

Sounds a bit low to me..
Not sure how, probably one of the 'borrowers' of my laptop but I have IE9 and its horrendous, it was sooooo slow to start and looking at all those options, add ons etc .. I went straight back to firefox.

Not sure...unless... have you now got both installed? So you're clicking on your regular IE7 icon and IE8 is now somewhere in the background I don't use IE so I'm not sure how it works on upgrade.
Have a look in your programs and see if there are two IE icons. And make sure you click the IE8 one.
Try Chrome. It's from Google and people are loving it. When you download and install watch out for do you want X to be added as a tool bar and do you want chrome to be your main browser. At this stage say no so you can just try it without it getting in the way.
I didn't think that you could have two versions of IE on a machine at the same time.
Isn't each 'new' version an upgrade of the existing one?

I'm not sure (edit just checked no you can't) - as I say I dont use IE but just trying to fathom out what's going wrong with Martin's machine. I was going to check but I don't even have IE installed - I've not used it for years. I have Safari, Chrome and Firefox and mainly stick with Firefox.
So Martin you could install IE 8 that you downloaded and fingers crossed everything should work.
Or switch to a different brand of browser.
In answer to Martin's difficulties, I for one was reluctant to switch from I.E to Firefox, to try and resolve my site navigation issues.
I eventually made the change (two years ago now, perhaps less) and everything has been reasonably OK![]()
Haven't used I.E since
Worth a try mate![]()
