Installing IE8 RC1 — Or Trying
January 27th, 2009 by Kelson. Posted in Browsers, Computers/Internet and tagged for crash, IE8, Microsoft, Tweets, Windows- Installed IE8 RC1. Installer crashed, and I ended up with IE7…even though I’d been running the IE8 beta before. #
- IE8 installer crashes system. New HW checks out. Bad RAM may have screwed something up before I replaced it. Time for System Restore. *grr* #
- Wow, System Restore is taking a lot longer this time. Maybe it’s actually working? (Or maybe safe mode just makes it slower?) #
- I can’t remember how many times I’ve rebooted this computer today. (And no, safe mode didn’t solve it) #
- Finally got IE8 RC1 installed by telling it not to install updates immediately. The Malicious Software Scan was crashing the system. WTF? #
- Now that I’ve FINALLY got IE8 RC1 running, a cursory check of websites I maintain shows no glaring problems. *whew!* #
