Hi All,

I cant get my PC to view the nokia.com or nokia.co.uk web site. it just crashed IE8.

I dont have a problem with any other web site, just the nokia ones?

I have reloaded IE8 twice, turned off firewall, used regdoctor to clean and re set the registery etc... etc... etc...

I can view the site with FireFox on the same PC (this one).

Does anyone know what's wrong? and more importantly how to fix it..

Thanks,

ANDY

don't know my friend. bear in mind that IE8 will complain a lot of the time because most of the websites on the Internet do not yet comply with the new strict web standards. thats why there is the button next to the refresh button which allows you to display webpages in compatibiltiy mode. but even that doesn't explain why some websties work in IE8 and some in Firefox only. i encounter the same problem, if i can't load one i just use the other browser. Like Facebook wasn't working for a while in Firefox, then it starte working again so yeah. don't know how to get around this problem though.

The problem is more likely to be a result of anti-virus/firewall software or erroneous IE8 installation. I am using IE8 on both XP SP3 and Windows 7 RC and have no problems whatsoever with the Nokia site, let about experiencing crashes. Bare in mind that the IE8 in Win7 is not even the final but a Beta version.

So, try disabling any firewall or anti-virus software and check. Also try adding nokia.com to the Compatibility list before visiting it.

Unfortunately, there's no clear cure on the matter, apart from 'use FF/Opera' or 'reinstall Vista'.

Just use a *real* webbrowser like Firefox or Opera.

it happens in Firefox too, even when i have my firewall and kaspersky antivirus turned off. so yeah there is no clear cure for it i'm afraid, and my installations of IE8 and Firefox are both clean. maybe its network conditions for my wireless broadband modem? who knows?
