Help needed, I have IE8 running with XP (SP2) and every time I try to log on to any website that require user name and password (Ebay, Yahoo mail ect) IE8 detects a fault and reverts back to log on page. Anyone else experienced this or knows of a fix?

Disabling the java add-on will speedup IE8 tab switching considerably!

IE8 installed. now 28 new icons appear on my desktop, such as hs_err_pid ###. What are these? What to do?

OK first thing to try is go to Control Panel (usually in your start menu) and open Internet Options. Click on the Advanced tab and at the bottom you will see a button to Reset Internet Explorer settings. Click that and see if that fixes the problem. If not try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it. You will find instructions on how to uninstall it at http://carbonize.co.uk/wp/2009/03/21/remove-ie8/

I have IE8 and no addons installed other then the one that comes with my anti-virus. When I open it, from top to bottom I get the address bar, a black line were the favorites and tools bottons should be, My McAfee bar (anything after the site advisor is my desktop), another black bar were some more bottons should be, and then my tab bar. Anything after any open tabs is black. The rest is good. How do i fix the different bars on the top of the whole thing? Any advice will be tryed. Thank you.

Not 100% sure but have a look at the options in the Page menu. Particularly the Style option. Make sure it is set to default.
