Hi Guys

I had no luck with my icon issue so I re-installed only to have another problem confront me. When I use IE x32 I cannot access anything on my task bar if I click on it I get the revolving circle cursor until I re-log in If I close the IE session BEFORE click on the task bar everything is fine. This does not happen with the x64 version of IE only the x32... any ideas?

Hello Loquacious,

You might see if resetting IE8 may help any.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks Brink but I solved the problem. I was using IDM with advvanced browser integration which obviously IE8 did not like. I turned it back to simple integration and problem solved.
