I was going off MS's documentation, but it worked for you, it might be an avenue worth doing, just make sure you back up bookmarks and other important info before you try it! We’re glad it worked.

I dared to use the uninstall option, even though you said in your post not to do it. .. then I rebooted and everything seems to be working fine. I am also back to IE7, so the uninstall worked. I have Windows XP Tablet Edition with SP3, which is pretty much like the Pro edition of XP. I don't think that this made the difference and work. Mhhh... p.s.

I am using Google Gadgets a lot, because I am a paying customer of Google Hosted for your domain. There are great gadgets for Email, Calendar, Docs etc. Microsoft should implement something like trusted sites where the browser allows execution of cross domain scripts. You can download and host many of the gadgets on your own website/servers, if you don't trust the site where it originates from. I almost went and uninstalled IE8 Beta 2 via the control panel, but then I saw your note in bold text saying "You can only do this, if you have not installed SP3"... Well, I installed SP3 like most users that use the Microsoft update... what happens, if I uninstall the Beta 2? Breaks the browser? the OS? What happens, if I install IE7 SP2 from the setup files afterwards again? If you know the answers and have some tips, I'd appreciate it, because that could save me a lot of trouble (again). Thanks in advance for your time. I like the build in Developer Toolbar. Some config screens improved a little too, but some are as confusing as always. Why do they still have security settings under advanced settings and not under security settings? ... and why do they still have more than one place to enable/disable the popup blocker buried in a place that is hard to find, instead of making it an icon, tiny button or checkbox right on the main interface? The crash recovery is nice, except if it causes the browser to crash again. A system preservation function for leaking script code is also still missing. It still happens that a page starts looping and using more and more memory, then sucking system resources to bring the whole OS to a halt with the user watching and banging against the keyboard, because you cannot open task manager fast enough and kill IE... I hoped that this problem would have been worth solving, because that is the one that anoys me the most. Great!
