Geeeez......I'm sorry Mandy, but I have no clue.
I was not having as severe issues as you were, they were very mild compared to what you are going through.
It seems that a lot of people are having some major crap with IE8.

Thanks Chuck.
There is a solution, apparently.
When I upgraded to IE8 6 months ago, I noticed when I was writing a post longer than the text window the bottom kept rolling down so I couldn't see what I was typing.
After clicking on the 'compatibility view' button, the problem was solved, but then the button disappeared, and I still had odd problems.
I know Sue (Katie 77) had same problem, but compatibility view didn't seem to work for her.
Yesterday I downloaded an update for IE8 from the Microsoft site, that apparently fixes things.
I had to re-start to initiate it properly, and it's now working fine. :)
IE8 was supposed to be Microsoft's answer to Apple's Safari browser (which is great), but it seems websites had to update to fall into line with Microsoft, rather than Microsoft writing IE8 to accomodate other people. Even my banking site was 'incompatible' for a while.
A bit like car manufacturers. When things break down, you're stuck with buying their parts, on their terms.
But that's big business, I guess. :-\
Have a restful night, those who are not into Wednesday yet. :)
As for us down here, I'd better start work for the day.

Hey,
That problem I had with not being able to see what I was typing in a post, seems to have fixed itself. I didn't do anything, that I can remember.

Hey, Sue!
I had that same problem when I got IE8, but the fix that Chuck outlined earlier (the "broken page" button just to right of the URL address) fixed it for me.

If your system is set to automatically download updates from Microsoft (which they set as the default setting on new systems), it would happen without you even knowing about it. Must be the same update I got manually. :)
