I do... however the behavior is not site-specific. Example:
-Surfing myforums.com in 1st tab works OK -right-clicking a thread to open in new tab - this second tab hangs -right clicking the _SAME_ thread to open in new tab(the third tab) works So for all on the same site: 1st and 3rd tabs OK, 2nd tab hangs (with the URL for 2nd and third tabs being identical) -sc From: Chris Orovet [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 3:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: IE8 on XP "Hanging" tabs Do you have the compatiblity service pack installed? If so try setting it to always use it. Ive found that it gets rid of most problems when it comes to certain sites.

Simply pressing F5 seems to let it connect. It is almost like a race condition where it times out connect attempts before presenting the tab [page].

I am using IE8 on XP SP2 without the problems you describe. On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 9:16 AM, Steven M.

That the "loading" indicator will sit there and spin, but I never get any content. Now if I copy and paste that address in to another tab, it will load just fine. It often seems to be every other tab, up to a point (i.e. tabs 1, 3 and 5 will work, tabs 2 and 4 will hang). But once I get up to 7-8 tabs nothing works. I originally suspected DNS, but all my testing seems fine, and Firefox doesn't seem to suffer the same problem. My IE8-on-Vista installation seems fine too (although on a separate net). My Google-fu seems to indicate this was a known problem with the RC, but that it got fixed for release... -sc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
