    Internet explorer 8 not working would have nothing to do with what kind of computer you have. You most likely have some sort of software corruption or conflict (add-on) usually if you go to tools/internet options/advanced and click reset it will fix most IE issues. If that doesn't work boot into safe mode and see if the problem persists if not then you have a startup item causing the issue and you can use process of elimination of unchecking startup items Start/Run/Msconfig/Startup items. If all of this still doesn't work you can try to restore your system back to a date prior to when this started happening Start/Run rstrui.exe

    I have this issue at the mo....I have had it before i usually move to firefox or chrome untill i can be bothered to reformat as it is sometimes more corrupt than an add on application. JDbaker is right though and i would try to remove add ons first before swapping search engine then doing a full format

    Just use Chrome. It's a better browser anyway and you can save yourself the trouble.

    In general chrome is a lot faster but has issues with certain sites loading properly. You cant go wrong with Mozilla Firefox as a backup to load the sites that Chrome wont. Personally I stay away from Internet explorer myself theres no reason to have to use it Mozilla will be compatible with 99.9% of any site you need to go to.
