IE8 Accelerators Don't work

Jezmundo · 03-11-2009, 08:59 AM

Hi all,

I downloaded the Beta version of IE8 which I dutifully installed on my machine and have been using without many incidents until recently..

Windows update downloaded RC1 to my machine and I have a problem with accelerators. Put simply, when I select some text, click the arrow and choose an accelerator with a rollout (popup?) the window is now a 404 message (see image)

The diagnose conection button does nothing when clicked

I've tried Un-installing the update and reinstalling the original Beta version (the accelerators then work) once the update (RC1) is downloaded from Windows Update they stop working

Any thoughts??
