Just searched archives and tried Chris's suggestion of checking compatibility mode under the Tools menu. No difference. I get "1 item remaining..." forever, and if I try a refresh the page starts counting down more and more slowly but never comes up. Perhaps IE8 is happier on VISTA machines or something, but it's the pits on this XP Pro system!
BTW- The new Help page (link at bottom of messages) is so nicely organized and the archive search is really nice now. Thanks to administrators or whomever worked on this!!

Also, sometimes closing down one web page shuts down IE8 completely. A friend reports similar problems. Were these the same reasons which initially caused some of you to uninstall IE8? If you uninstall IE8, does IE7 work properly or did you have to do any kind of re-install to get it working as before? Thanks much for any insights/info.
