IE9 RC Crashing - some compatability issues

Hi meddylad,

This is the whole purpose of the compatibility mode. It exists to enable websites that wouldn't otherwise work correctly with IE9 (or fail to work at all) to be accessible by IE9 running an emulated version of an older browser. The type of error will depend, to some extent, on the nature of the incompatibility. In other words, although you are using IE9, that particular tab acts as though you are running IE8 (until you close the browser/tab). There is nothing wrong with IE9's behaviour here, rather it is the individual websites that aren't IE9 compliant.

I have the IE9 RC, 64 bit version, as I have Win 7 64 bit. I just accessed e-bay and it came up in native mode, not compatibility and I was able to access a couple of listings in e-bay without a problem.

Likewise

will try when I get home

My post above is just a generic reason why certain sites require compatibility mode. I was unable to try Ebay because I was at work. Besides, we're still on XP at work, and that is not compatible with IE9 (only works with upto IE8).

Now that I'm back home, I've just tried both Ebay.com and Ebay.co.uk with IE9RC 64-bit, and both sites opened without problems. What other sites are you having issues with?

dilbert.com will cause a crash if not in compatibility mode.

Yes for me too

This may help.

Open IE click tools. Go down list to Compatability View settings and click.

New window as below check all three boxes at bottom. Click Close.
This will give you comp view on all pages automatically.
