I use forums most of the day and post to them. When posting I fill in a page,
when at the end of the first page the I may hit enter to start a new line and
the page scrolls up and I can not see what I am typing, it does allow me to
type because with every stroke the page moves up and down, when this started
to happen I would use my down arrow to scroll the page down and it would
scroll up.....

When IE 8 first came out to the public I installed it and had the same
issues, so I uninstalled it and continued to use IE7 with no problems....

Before some go off and ask if I have checked for viruses and installed all
of the updates to MS OS XP the answer is yes. I use Bitdefender IS 2010 and
have used Malwarebytes to double check.....

Hey Mr. Bear,

No I downloaded the latest and greatest with all patches... This happened
with the first release of IE8, my solution was to uninstall it...... I was
hopping that MS would have looked into this by know and fixed the issue....

ROB

I have tried this yesterday and when it first came out to no avail....
Thanks guys...

In case someone wants to try some of the sites that this occurs are
www.Ar15.com, www.sksboards.com these are just a couple...

Hi Steve,

Tools>Compatibility View Settings - check "Include updated web site lists
from Microsoft"

If you have issues in viewing sites (particularly forums), try pressing the
Compatibility View button to see if it works better in IE7 emulation mode.

Regards.
