IE8 won't let us use GMail

Bilbosh · 03-19-2009, 04:16 PM

In IE8 neither the wife nor daughter can sign in to their googlemail accounts, but I can access my G-mail in Firefox, and they can access theirs if I browse with Safari.

All this is a recent development...

Furthermore:

On my PC, I have 3 hotmail e-mail accounts, and my daughter has one.

If I sign in to my Windows Live messenger (any one of them, or my daughters') it signs in as normal and in the top right hand corner is the little tab which tells me I have X amount of e-mails.

If I click on that, I used to be able to go straight to them.

Now, it goes to a Windows Live sign-in page, and if I click to sign in on myself, it thinks for a moment and then stays on this windows sign-in page and I haven't signed in...

I can still use "chat" though...

Any ideas?

All suggestions would be gratefully received!

Bilbo.

There might be some issue with the browser settings , Try to unistall the internt explorer 8 and try with the left over internet explorer browser . if its working with the older version of the windows , of internet explore then there is issue with the I.E 8
