Hi Mike,

Check your settings for "Automatically recover from rendering errors with
Compatibility View" on the Advanced tab of Internet Options. You should have
it checked. This will stop your GMail page trying to reload.

Do you have "Include updated website lists from Microsoft" checked on the
Compatibility View Settings? (Tools>Compatibility View Settings). Google
domains are included in the list, but the gmail domain web sites have been
fixed by the G Developers and are IE8 (/W3C CSS 3.1) compliant. Once you get
your gmail inbox page loaded, click the Compatibility View button (next to
the Address bar) to force IE to use IE8 standards rendering. This will
correct the vertical buttons.

Have you upgraded to the latest version of the Google toolbar yet?
toolbar.google.com. Earlier versions had problems with IE8.

The GMail notifier... if you have this installed, also check for any updates
from Google... I have it installed, but I have removed it from the Windows
startup list because it slows down my (otherwise) very fast computer.

Regards.
