Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before but I tried disabling all add-ons
and still IE8 has trouble with few of the websites, especially
youtube, facebook, rediff and few others.

I am running IE 8.0.6001.18828 on Vista Ultimate with all latest
updates. I have AVG installed and tried a few online scans, and
couldn't find anything especially wrong.

I have Firefox and Chrome, and the same websites open and work
perfectly fine with those.

Is there something I can do to fix IE, some way to troubleshoot it or
is just dumping it is the only realistic option other than doing a
format and clean build of the PC (which I don't want to do right now).

Cheers for any help/tips/tricks/suggestions over this.

Thanks and regards!

Sorry and by not being browsable I mean, DEP brings down the browser
and if I restart with the previous set of open tabs, it goes down
again.

Are you implying a DEP exception occurred when opening that page?
What are the details? That page opens in No Add-ons mode;
so if you get the same problem symptom then it means the problem
module is not a normal IE extension and you will have to resort to full
clean boot troubleshooting procedures to figure out what it is.


Good luck

1. Uninstall AVG & reboot.

2. Do a a clean install of AVG (Free) v9.0 (not an upgrade), opting for a
CUSTOM install and do NOT install Linkscanner, Search-Shield, Active
Surf-Shield, Security toolbar, or any of the email scanning components.

Yes, Robert. It does even after disabling all add-ons. What is
involved in full clean boot troubleshotting? Thanks for your response.

Thanks. I will try this next weekend. Will let the thread know how it
goes and if it makes any difference.

Some sites are not yet compliant with the new technology in IE8, so
compatibility mode was included in IE8 to allow you to emulate IE7 or IE 6 to
view the page. . You could also make sure that the site is listed under your
'Trusted Sites' if you have secure browsing enabled. Here is a link to show
you how to run IE8 in compatibility mode:
