Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 issues are being reported by users of the software. Some users are reporting that they are unable to open websites, and that their browsers crash. Microsoft is aware of the beta 1 issues and is working to fix them.


I went to the Creative Autoupdate site to see if there were new drivers for my sound card. I was created by the following message.

No problem right? I will just click on the Emulate IE 7 button …

Then IE told me I needed to restart the browser, which I did … unlike Firefox IE did not automatically restart … it just sat there. I then closed out of IE 8 Beta 1 and went back in … eh … then you have to browse back to the page that did not work.

I lazily searched and found this Add-on for IE 8. This puts an icon on the Taskbar that lets you report a page that does not display with IE 8 Beta 1. Just one annoyance I have found so far … but I can’t complain too much since it is a beta release after all. I am curious what types of issues any of you have found with this release. Post away folks!
