Problem with IE8

ayeshasi

I have recently upgraded my IE to 8. Since then, my laptop is running very slow and i am also not able to open some sites such as www.debenhams.co.uk and www.nokia.co.uk

I know these sites are working since i tried on my husbands laptop therefore the problem is with IE8.
I have tried restoring the laptop to a previous date but its not letting me restore to 2 weeks before (when i upgraded the IE to 8). I am only able to restore it to 4 days ago :S

Can anyone help me pleaseeeeeeeeee???

Go into the control panel, Add Remove programs. Scroll right down and there is the option to uninstall IE8, it's called Windows Internet Explorer 8 which is why it's at the bottom.

I uninstalled it last night with no problems. I didn't have the faults you have but tabbed windows took about 10 seconds to open and my PC was unresponsive while waiting.

Yes, but i only have the resident SDhelper going, not the TeaTimer. Monthly scans completed clean every time. I'm very careful;).

Is there a problem with SD and IE8????
