Can you tell us
by MarkFlax Forum moderator Feb 7, 2010 5:17AM PST

what "wsgfl" is? If a web site, can you give the full url web address.

It will help if anyone here can visit and have a look.

Many Internet Explorer problems can be traced back to bad Add-ons, (Tools > Add-ons). But if that is the case here, finding the suspect add-on can be difficult.

Wsgfl is a school email system and i have checked and i dont have any addons installed apart from the ones that came with ie8. Its not a serious issue because i have also got google chrome and safari and they both work fine with it.

Thanks for posting.

IE8 Help
by bryn_ie8team Feb 8, 2010 1:56AM PST

Try enabling compatibility mode. It is the broken page icon next to the refresh button on the toolbar. Here?s a good resource from the IEBlog that talks about compatibility mode in detail if you?d like to learn more: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/02/16/just-the-facts-recap-of-compatibility-view.aspx

If that doesn?t work, run IE in No Add-ons Mode. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) - If this fixes the issue, then go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons and enable the add-ons one by one to find which one was causing the problem.

You can also try resetting Internet Explorer's settings by going to Tools > Internet Options and then the "Advanced" tab, and click "Reset..."

If you?re still not having any luck, I recommend you reinstall or upgrade to IE8 on your system.

Cheers,
Bryn
