have you tried to uninstall IE 8 and then reinstall it. I know a lot of times it can install incorrectly or have a bug in the file. Make sure you have a legit copy and got it from a reliable source.

Running w7 with IE 8 installed and am unable to save bookmarks. &nbsp;the system clocks and goes to not responding. &nbsp;Not responding lasts 10 minutes or you can end the explorer.exe in task manager.<br />

Troubleshooting so far includes malware\spyware scan (Malwarebytes, combofix and microsft scan), IE 8 reset...even did a profile rebuild. &nbsp;<br />
Any additional tips would be great. Thanks.

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Spyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge; it has also come to include programs that engage in various kinds of electronic fraud. Anti-spyware is software that removes or blocks that software; some common vendors include Malwarebytes, McAfee, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and BitDefender.
