On reflection NIS2009 may have been installed for a short while. I have
also disabled smart firewall and Antivirus auto-protect but with no
improvement.

Thanks.
Firstly, the reference to Garmin was given only as an example of several
we site with which I am experiencing the same problem.
Secondly I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 and fully patched
up-to-date with IE8 again fully up-to-date.
1. I have started in IE8 No Add-ons with the same outcome,
2. I have used 'Fix this problem" (automatic not manual) but the problem
persists.
3. I am running only Norton Internet Security 2010 fully up-to-date. It
was installed and running in the background after installing IE8.
4. No other threat prevention software has ever run on this computer.
Regards.

What Robert Aldwinckle said, plus...
Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit
SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) as well as your IE
version when posting in an IE-specific forum or newsgroup. Please do so in
your next reply.
1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?
=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).
Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer's (No Add-ons) Mode [Applies to
IE7 & IE8 in all OSS]

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
WinXP & Vista:

Win7:

3. 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)? WinXP & Vista: Were any of
these applications running in the background when you installed IE8?
4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on
this machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you
bought it)?

I'm having trouble getting on to some web-sites. First I get a
message "This site wants to install the following add-ons" [Garmin] which
changes to "This tab has been recovered. a problem with the web page has
caused IE to close and reopen tab". It then cycles through theses messages
once more before getting a message
Running IE8 in 'no add-ons' mode I get a message inviting me to got to
'Manage Add-ons'. However, I can't see what to do next.
I have gone into MSConfig and disabled all service with no result.
Any suggestions how to get out of this problem please?
Thanks. Bill R
