Oh god what have I done

I caved in to the nagging of my automatic updates and let it install windows internet explorer 8.

Any time I have a textarea like a forum post with wrapping text, it jiggles up and down when I type any key. When I click on a spot with my mouse it readjusts the vertical position of the context. When I use my up/down arrows to move the cursor, the text doesnt follow.

And

When I go to google, the search box is so small I can't type in it. And the button text is so small you can't read it. Yet everything else on the page is huge.

AHHHHHHHH

I don't have any of those problems...(yes I use 8)

you could disable the automatic updates services to rid you of those annoying pop ups :twisted:

i never had any problems with IE 8 though. what browser are you using? if your still using IE i would suggest getting Firefox or google chrome.

O______o wth?!
this is not something to blame IE8 for... seems like yor computer isn't very compatible with it either. since it seems like you can't go back to 7 I suggest you step over to the darkside and try another browser (but I keeeel you if you go ff >:( )
