Generally it's recommended to use the latest version of the a browser to avoid security flaws and such. However what I personally recommend is to install a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome.

I also recommend scanning for any spyware or viruses on your computer that could be slowing it down.

Is windows internet explorer 8 the same as microsoft internet explorer 8

Restoring Computer to earlier state is the best solution. Only update the Internet explorer by using online updates that is downloaded from Microsoft website. WebRepOverall ratingThis site has no rating(not enough votes)

Also try to update the drivers that control your PC.

If problem still occurs then use system utility tool PCFresher that will fix windows internal errors and will fix corrupt registry errors.

Internet explorer 8 hangs on opening a web page

Thanks for visiting FixYa!

There could be several reasons why IE8 is hanging. If you're using Windows Vista / 7 you may want to upgrade to IE-9. Click here to download IE-9

If you're using Windows XP, you can try the following:

1) Click here to: Reset Internet Explorer settings

2) Click here for: What to do if Internet Explorer stops responding

3) Make sure you have Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 installed on your PC. IE-8 only runs correctly with SP2 or SP3.

4) Re-install IE-8. Click here to Download IE-8 If you can't get to the internet on your PC with IE-8, use another browser if you have one. If you don't have another browser installed on your PC, download Firefox or Google Chrome to a USB thumb-drive from another computer and download one of them to your PC from there.

5) If you've (either, by accident or intentionally) downloaded a third-party browser helper, there may be a software conflict causing IE-8 to hang. To check, go to your Control Panel and select 'Add or Remove Programs'. Look to see if there is a 'third party' browser helper installed. If so, uninstall it.

6) If you're able to get to the Internet at all, go to Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) - download and install it. Click here to download. You may have something on your PC that MSE can help you with.

7) Make sure you have enough RAM in your PC. At the very minimum, Windows XP needs 512Mb of RAM. 1GB is better.

Hopefully this will help.

Internet explorer always shut down prematurely and closes down

Take internet explorer's properties and then use tab or click from mouse and choose advance tab. Now click on reset and restore advance settings. Now click on security tab and click on default level and reset all zones to default lever. Your problem will resolve and if you have registry file problem then you should use combofix utility but disable any antivirus or antispam or antispyware and then use it .You can download it from the link;

When I move my mouse over favorites, it is slow

After a great deal of searching and toggling many different options, I found a solution!

I am using Windows XP.
The option may be in a different place if you have some other version of Windows.

In Control Panel, Folder Options, View tab, scroll to the bottom and uncheck “Show pop-up description for folders and desktop items”.

I am not certain, but it also seems to have improved the general performance in Windows Explorer as well.

Red X in you tube

Are you getting error message that reads " Either you dont have latest Java version or flash to run the videos.

As the problem with the IE 7.0 and IE 8.0 is related to cookies comes from the videos websites.

I would recommend you to rollback the IE to IE 6.0.
