IE8 will remaion stable on my pc until I try to open www..goodmoves.org.uk . then it hangs and I have to task manager it. Safari and firefox open it just fine. I've had a look to see what addons are runnig and nothing out of the ordinary. i've scanned for viruses and it's clean. reinstalled it. :po:
anyone got any ideas?
I'm using IE8 and it works fine for me :dunno:
You have too many dots after www
Cut & paste from your post into IE8 fails, delete a dot and it loads perfectly
FF and Safari autocorrect such errors

I suspect coreservers problem may be more complex than that simple solution ;D
the two dots is a typo.
i'm thinking trojan. possibly, will run an overnight avast scan see if that works.
Working just fine in IE8
Try clearing your Temporary Internet Files.

Very slow with IE8, ok with Firefox!
I wonder if some of the differences in browser speeds are dependent on the configuration and/or other external factors. Because people often say that Firefox is quicker I decided to do some timing tests with http://www.goodmoves.org.uk/ (http://www.goodmoves.org.uk/).
I installed Firefox 3.5.4 and opened the website several times in this and IE8 (clearing the cache before each time I opened it) In IE8 it took between 10 and 30 seconds to open it but with Firefox it was always about 40 seconds.
I also once got a message with Firefox to say that the following add-ons are known to cause stability or security problems : 'Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.170.4' and 'MetaStream 3 Plugin 3.2.2.26'.
If I didn't delete the Cache then they both took about 2 seconds.
(I know there's a later version of FF available but I used 3.5.4 as I already had the install executable downloaded from when I tried FF before)
Although I use FF for most of my browsing and certainly for any stuff that requires high security such as banking I do find that IE has the edge in rendering speed and multimedia performance.
