I attempted to install the IE8 update on my vista premium laptop which resultd in my computer booting up and shutting down about every 8-10 minutes which went on all nigth long. I finally intervened the next morning, and did a system restore. Now when my computer boots up it asks for a password that I never created so that I am locked out of my computer. Unfortunatly, I have an important document that I must recover so I cannot attempt to wipe out the drive and start from scratch. So I am having to pay hundreds of dollars to recover my data. My Advice, dont download. IE8 beta. i would appreciate any helpful input anyone has. |

No one should download beta software on their main computer. You do know what 'beta' software is, right? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est mkrad wrote: > I attempted to install the IE8 update on my vista premium laptop which > resultd in my computer booting up and shutting down about every 8-10 minutes > which went on all nigth long.
