Hi guys,I am using XP Pro SP3.Today I downloaded IE8.Since I did I have lost both toolbars (AOL and Google) that I use.When I try to connect to tne net,the status bar moves as if it is connecting but all I get is a white screen.I have tried to do a system restore but it never restores and I get a message saying restiration failed.I have also tried checking my internt options in Control Panel,,and again nothing happens.Any hlp would be greatly appreciated.:confused

Can't help you as I run no toolbars, but I assume you are aware that IE 8 is not a final release? It's a "Release Candidate", one step removed from a Beta. Therefore you are one of their guinea pigs. From M$:

What Does "RC1" Mean?

Release candidate software is at a stage in the development process where it is ready to be evaluated by users while it undergoes final testing.

Internet Explorer 8 RC1 is now platform and feature complete and this is your opportunity to be among the first to try out the new browser before its final release. Install it today and take it for a test drive. We think you'll agree that it's faster, safer, and easier to use than ever. If you don't like it you can easily uninstall it whenever you want. Uninstall instructions can be found at our support page for Internet Explorer 8 RC1.

To ensure your browser is up to date, all RC1 users will be automatically updated with the final version of Internet Explorer 8 via Windows Update so you'll always have the latest version of the browser.

We understand if you feel uncomfortable installing release candidate software. Check this website in the coming months to see when the final version of Internet Explorer 8 is available.
