Hi I'm sure this must be around but I can't find it, as trying to find a solution to a "find" problem is a nightmare. I have downloaded several copies of IE8 and all of them show the same error, when I put the CTRL+F command to search the current page it opens a blank toolbar that cannot be removed save by closing down the browser window. Where is the "find on this page" gone and is there a patch to fix this. Thanks
See if this helps. http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-find-on-this-page-does-not-work-in-internet-explorer-8/ "cathy" <cathy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6C821437-1D3A-40D2-889F-78910192B914@microsoft.com... > Hi > I'm sure this must be around but I can't find it, as trying to find a > solution to a "find" problem is a nightmare. > I have downloaded several copies of IE8 and all of them show the same > error, > when I put the CTRL+F command to search the current page it opens a blank > toolbar that cannot be removed save by closing down the browser window. > Where is the "find on this page" gone and is there a patch to fix this. > Thanks >
Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2) when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 cathy wrote: > I'm sure this must be around but I can't find it, as trying to find a > solution to a "find" problem is a nightmare. > I have downloaded several copies of IE8 and all of them show the same > error, > when I put the CTRL+F command to search the current page it opens a blank > toolbar that cannot be removed save by closing down the browser window. > Where is the "find on this page" gone and is there a patch to fix this. > Thanks
Why **always**? Knowing the Windows version is not **always** needed in order to answer a question.

IE8 is pretty much IE8 regardless of the OS. This is also a relatively known issue that, if everything else is OK, is usually a registration issue. I've only seen it once but reregistration corrected it. See the post about an hour before yours for a link.
