IE8 on Windows 7 loading mobile sites

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Aug 12, 2009, 07:21 AM

This is really weird... I installed windows 7 and its not as bug free as everyone says it is (not surprising). I have a minor issues where IE8 loads certain sites as mobiel versions for something like a blackberry browser and I cannot force it to load the full version. This was no problem on IE8 on Vista though and chrome runs it fine.

Anyone else have this issue?

i restored IE and found there is something setting it off, ill do a bit more research and get back to you...

IE8 is getting better, I really think its mostly issues on the websites ends I get less weird bugs now. all gawker media sites have a script error with their comment systems

99% of the time.. i find that anything beyond adobe PDF, Divx, Quicktime, Real alternative, Adobe Flash and MS Silverlight installed as add-ons...... all the rest of the add-ons that people tend to download and use have a tendency to cause massive screw ups.....

I've had plenty of machines with IE addons i had to remove due to basically making it impossible to use
