Hi, my first post. I have problem with Internet Explorer 9 (EDIT: title says IE 8.. its not 8) acclerator. After adding Google accelerator, I can't click on the blue button when you highlight on texts. Nothing pops up but when I remove the Google accelerator, it works again. It seems Microsoft doesn't like Google.
Another problem is I can't add Google search in the address bar. I tried two different methods but none works. Currently its set to Bing. One method is by click the Add button in the address bar when you type a phrase. When I click ADD, it takes me to this page but Google is not listed at all which again I think Microsoft doesn't like Google. Ok now I click on Search link on the same page and I see Google listed but again its for accelerator not for address bar. That would stop my accelerator from working as I earlier mentioned. Another method for adding Google in address bar is by going from Tools > Manage add-ons which takes me to same page. Anyone know any other way to add Google as search provider for address bar? Damn Microsoft has wasted hours of my time. So frustrating.
Whenever I go to that page, I see this little circle showing as if its trying to load but nothing loads up. Shame on Microsoft that it can't even open pages from its own sites. It works sometime but mostly it doesn't. It works in Chrome fine. Damn IE has given me so much pain in the last few months. Sometime it even hangs and when I try to close it, nothing happens but closes minutes later.
