Good day, I can't seem to find a solution with this problem so hopefully somebody here can help me.

My OS is Vista Ultimate on a dell studio 1735, 4 gigs ram, 2.5 GHz T9300 processor, ati mobility radeon HD 3650 video card. I downloaded IE 8 from windows update and installed it. I love the browser, works great but after it's installed it messes up my sidebar. My weather gadget is totally transparent except the numbers in it, there is white borders on my calendar and my cpu meter and clock freezes. If I close the gadgets and restart them it's the same thing, freezing and stops working within a minute. I have tried different video drivers for the white border thing but didn't make a difference. All my other drivers are up to date. If I go back to IE 7 the problem goes away. I tried the dell support forums but all they said was to update my drivers which I had already tried. So if anybody has any idea on this I would appreciate your input. Thank You.
