Hi
I have been running IE8 with the latest updates on Win7 since last year.
I have tried Chrome just to see what it looks like then uninstalled.
Are you having an issue?

I use Chrome almost exclusively.

No need to upgrade to IE8, it's part of Win 7. I use it, rarely. I use either FF or Chrome.

Hi, I am not having a problem because I dont have it downloaded yet. I have had the computer since end of December and had no problems. With this in mind, thats what I was asking for because I dont want any problems. I could always try it and if I dont like it I can always delete it.

I have just put the IE8 onto computer and its about the same as 7. The one thing that is getting to me is that Bing opens a window when I start the browser up.
So I have my normal home page and then in another tab I have Bing. I dont want this to happen. How do I stop bing doing this please.

Click the down arrow next to the "house" icon in the browser that normally takes you to your home page. Go to "Remove" and remove the Bing window.
