   I'm still using Win xp Pro.   
      
   I rarely use MS Internet Explorer 8.  I haven't used it for a few   
   months.  I usually use it when Firefox will not go into the plain   
   text mode to copy a Web page.  IE always has let me copy text only   
   from those protected Web pages.  That's about the only use I've ever   
   had for IE.   
      
   However, I now find that IE 8 will not load almost any page I try to   
   view. It only loads a few of the more obscure ones from my   
   Favorites.  What the heck happened?
