2 important updates released today.....

...to go along with the RC that was released. Both IE8 related.

just seen this also, one is compatibility view update, other is for IE itself.... supposed to fix a non responding error.... i wonder if this will fix the "cant recover webpage : null" error i have seen pop up a few times after it crashes and attempts to recover the last web page loaded.

and these are OPTIONAL??? not critical or important??

I am sure these have helped me; I was using 7077 and then an unofficial 7100 build previously. In both installs I had a wierd problem with IE in that I would open a new page and nothing would happen, as in the url would not appear, page not load. No error, it would just stay like that. Same with opening new tabs at times. It was a totally random issue, and I would have to log of and log back on to solve it. With todays build and the updates the issue has been resolved.
(sorry if I didn't explain that properly lol)!

Seano, I saw the same thing back in 7000. I thought I just had a virus since it started up after a friend visited a very not-nice-webpage. Hmph. Guess I punched him for nuffin.
