I have this issue on several of our agents machines, for some reason when
Internet Explorer 8 is installed it still reports being IE6 to a website when
browsing. The result of this is that some sites will not display properly
(trying to display an IE6 optimized page even though we're running IE and
some will not allow it to run at all giving a message that it requires IE7 or
later. Platform for at least 3 of the machines is Windows XP sp3.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled both IE7 and IE8 multiple times with full
reboots, I've removed anything under program files I've been able to as well
as removed chunks of registry entries by hand to try and get to whatever is
"stuck" in the system. I use Browserhawk as an easy way to check what version
the browser reports but the websites use several sifferent solutions to check.
The obvious solution, ditching IE altogether for Firefox or some other
browser isn't an option at this time since the primary work tool for these
users runs only on IE7 and IE8.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, spent some hours waiting to get to MS
support but every time I actualy get to talk to someone I get interrupted and
have to try again another day.
