Re: ie 8 problems

Disable google toolbar, you will find IE 8 then works properly. It's a known issue Google has yet to resolve.

I have a problem with the IE8 inasmuch that the cookies disappear when the laptop or desktop is rebooted, and all the saved passwords disappear.

I've noticed links take longer to load after being clicked on IE 8.

Re: ie 8 problems

Not had bluescreen issues with IE8 so have no idea if something has gone wrong with your install, disabling the googletoolbar would have shown if it was that or IE causing the issue.
