Can't Access Gmail on IE 8?, It filckers half the speed of light and the page won't open?
Hi,
I'm having a problem trying to open my Gmail account in IE 8 both in Vista and Windows 7.
When the page tries to open it just flickers extremely fast and the page never opens? Why would this be in two different OS?
I can open my Gmail in Firefox but I would love to use IE. I more accustom to using it.
I've done a search on this flickering thing but I haven't found anything that seems to address it specifically.
I've re-set IE back to the default settings with no change. I mean total default without any toolbars, etc. and still Gmail flickers without opening? I've also deleted everything under IE Options that I is there to delete with no change.
Does anyone know what this might be and how to fix it. Thanks.
John

It's just one of IE's trillion problems. Seriously, how can anyone like that browser? It's slow, buggy, fails many code standards, and never displays a page correctly. Most of the time it just screws up the Javascript and CSS. Seriously, use Google Chrome, or Firefox. It would take a day to get used to either of them, but it's worth it! faster, much less buggy, and meets all standards and requirements. If you don't believe me, talk with any programmer you know. They will all tell you the same - IE is the lamest browser ever. I also think you pretty much said it yourself: "I can open my Gmail in Firefox".
It's so bad that almost any programmer needs to spend twice the time usually needed to develop a website so it will work with IE. Most of the programmers never get their website to work and display right on IE, which makes them spend tons of their time doing useless stuff because that stupid browser just fails to support anything. Personally, as a programmer with a long history of website developing(and a very good reputation at being very good at what I do), IE always failed to display my websites correctly. When it does, it's only after I spend a lot of time building an additional section of code(for every section of code IE fails to support) for every page in my website, which also requires a filter, which makes me spend even more additional time.
IE is also not open-source, which takes off the ability to personally customize it the way you want by making or downloading other people's plugins and addons. Firefox, for example, is 100% open-source, making it 100% customizable. You can choose from thousands of addons and plugins to make it look, feel, and work the way you want it to. Same goes for Google Chrome.
So please, for your own good, and for the sake of open-source, just stay away from IE.

the fee of light relies upon on the medium during which it truly is propagating. It is going quickest in a vacuum, and that velocity is often what's meant with the aid of "the fee of light" if there is not any extra qualification. In a context wherein easy is propagating with the aid of a medium which slows it with the aid of an quantity this is crucial interior the context, then a to blame checklist will point out the suitable downward-adjusted velocity. (by the way, there have been some recent experiments with very particular media which could sluggish easy very nearly to a supply up!)
