Thanks for the input Lila, I am definitely staying with IE7 for now.

Any good? IE8 is not compatible with Ancestry's Enhanced Image Viewer. Since I find EIV a big improvement over their regular image viewer, I removed IE8 and went back to 7. Ancestry's gurus didn't tell me if they are going to work on making it compatible.

I've enjoyed IE8 so far. I have no problems with ancestry images. Any page I 'did' have problems with were solved by choosing the tool tab, and selecting "compatability view". I really didn't like IE7, 8 seems faster to me for browsing and I'm on dialup.(yeah us dinosaurs are still out here. LOL) Sharon
