Re: Any problems with IE 8? -- PCTECH

GApps has always run just fine in Firefox and Chrome. I just tried IE8
again and, lo and behold, it now formats properly. Either GApps did
something, or the latest IE8 compatibility update did something.

In either case, I've moved to Firefox.

IE8 has been out as a general release for about 6 months and was available
for beta testing for months prior to that. While 6+ months may not be
enough time to update their app to run nicely in the new browser, they
should be working on it and should be able to give you a date at which time
IE8 would be fully supported.

Has the app been tried using Compatibility View?

And with the whole .NET thing, it sounds like they're looking for something
to blame beyond their app when in reality the app has bugs they haven't
exterminated. I think Chuck has it right: The vendor has work to do.

I use Firefox mostly but have updated all of the machines I touch to IE8
with no problems at all. Does the app run in non-IE browsers?

We use Google Apps Premier and it has issues with IE8. Doesn't format
properly. This was not ALWAYS the case with IE8, some update fubar'ed

it.

We just switched to using Firefox for GApps.

Hi Folks,

We have a software vendor (Time and Attendance, etc) that is telling us
to dump IE8 and go back to IE7.

We have virtually identical PC's on Windows XP Pro patched with the

same

levels, etc. And some have this problems logging into this vendors site
and most don't. This app is nothing fancy, no flash, etc.

On one of the problem PC's they (the vendor) said they uninstalled .NET
Framework 3.5 SP1 and that fixed the access problem to them. Even

though

they admitted they had .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed on their PC and
didn't have this problem... Well correct that; just heard the problem
returned this morning on that PC.

When you try and login to their site it tells you you need to be

running

IE 5 or greater and then it gives you a link to Microsoft where it

takes

you to download - IE 8 ! The one they want you to remove...

I'm maintaining THEY (the vendor) have the problem and we can't be
removing this and that and then when we have no problem with ANY other
site.

So is anyone else having issues with IE 8 ?

Thanks !

Chuck
