This is driving me crazy. Sometimes they open...some times they don't. I am
on Vista Home Premium x 64 and took the IE8 download yesteday and have been
having problems since. I follow everything that has been said...open Mail
with a right click etc...but cannot find the "start with". I wanted to
uninstall IE8 and go back to IE7....but can't find where it is installed...or
how to uninstall. Does anyone else hate Vista as much as I do?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Is "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Vista (KB969897)"
listed in Installed Updates?

Just asking for now!! Do NOT use such a Restore Point yet!! => Do you have
an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8?

NB: Uninstalling IE8 (cf. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700) should
resolve the behavior but you should not have encountered it in the first
place if IE8 was installed properly.
