LOL (seriously, I did :) ) After I read your message I went ahead and tried to log in. Worked fine. I'd just never bothered to attempt it before once I'd hit the stop sign, good little traffic law abiding citizen that I am :) Dave the wild'n'crazy

That seems to be the only problem, but it's a pretty big one. Installing Firefox just to get round this would be relatively painless and avoids dropping back to IE7. Andrew McP

Thanks Andrew - have not really worked my way around to the forums just yet. Stall marveling over everything else - quite a bit to get ones head around. Nice timing on my part - a days racing and promotions on oval and road licenses! :)

That thing's enough to make your eyes go on vacation and never come back. :-) Once you've cleared out a lot of the optional clutter it improves, but I think I'm too old for all those pixels competing for attention. It certainly seems to be a change which people love or hate. Which seems entirely appropriate for iRacing. :-> Andrew McP

I still don't like IE8 on XP machines, works nice on vista IMHO. really slowed everything on my XP machines, work and at home, so bad I uninstalled it at home. "Byron Forbes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4a73b653$[email hidden]... > Does it work?
