Compatibility Issues with Internet Explorer 8

If you are using IE V8 you might have noticed some web sites are not displayed/work correctly while browsing the net!
For example detecting misplaced contents on some web sites “Menus, Text, Images,columns in the wrong position”. Or maybe some features does not work in a certain website or your IE suddenly crashes. That happens because of compatibility issues such that some website are designed for older browsers until they are updated for IE8 !

You can solve this compatibility issue by doing some simple steps:

1- Open your IE
2- Select “Tools” drop down menu from the menu bar.
3- On the Tools menu, click on “Compatibility view Settings”.
4- Tick on “Display all Websites in compatibility view” check box.
5- Click on “Close” button.

or alternatively you can simply add the website to the compatibility view!

    That's because it is a beta version!!
    You should uninstall IE8 -> Go to Control Panel and then click on Programs & Features, and Uninstall IE8. that should revert you back to the older version!
