right. When we go to certain sites it wont let it open, our windows live mail
wont do anything and the screen isnt lining up. On myspace the top portion of
the screen is all the way to the left and the rest is in the center. can
anyone help. thanks

Lets ASSUME that you actually mean Internet Explorer 8....which is in BETA.
and as such they actually told you a website to report trouble to...
and they actually have instructions on this website of how to uninstall 8
and go back to 7
now all you have to do is remember where you got it.....we cant do
everything for you..

Assuming you mean Internet Explorer 8 Beta, (an unfinished program meant for
testers and developers), and not Windows Explorer 8, (that does not exist),
please ask in the appropriate newsgroup.

IE8 Beta Newsgroups.

You couldn't possibly have upgraded to Windows Explorer 8 since no such
thing exists.

Windows Explorer is the user interface for Windows. There is no version
8 to Windows Explorer.

Could you be refering to Internet Explorer 8? IE 8 has not been released
yet. However, Microsoft has made available beta versions of IE 8 for web
developers to test their code. If you're not a web developer you
wouldn't be interested in IE 8 beta, since the code is unfinished and as
such can and will cause all manner of problems.

You didn't install IE 8 beta, did you?

There are specific newsgroups for specific programs, most of which come from
a Microsoft Windows Website.

Cool it Mickimouse! Read your own post above, you did not say
*internet*. You said "windows explorer 8".

I'll call your "NO" and raise you another "NO" - you *didn't* mean what you
said. What you said was "windows explorer 8", and NOT "Windows internet
explore 8". Try looking back and being sure of your facts before jumping
down people's throats, misquoting yourself.

"i was hoping to try something else before i did that" - well, what you're
running is beta software; it says this on Microsoft's site right next to the
words "Internet Explorer 8".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_software#Beta. So there are bound to be
things that don't work correctly. If you just want to surf the web, go back
to IE7 and wait until IE8 is officially released.

"i got this download from the windows site, so how am i not in the right
area" - the Microsoft download site states, "Support for IE8 Beta2 can be
received by visiting the Internet Explorer Beta Newsgroup to discuss issues,
or by contacting Customer Support Services." That's how.

In IE8 Tools, there is an IE7 compatibility mode. You might want to try it.

IE8 is still BETA 2, essentially development in progress. Try uninstalling
to see if the other issues resolve themselves..
