The Google toolbar keeps crashing for me which totally locks the IE 8 Beta 1. This is the error message that I get even when running the latest version 5 of the toolbar.

    Unfortunately, all current versions of Google Toolbar crash Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1. IE8 does include better security features similar to McAfee’s Site Advisor. The new features basically replace features excluding accessing bookmarks from anywhere and site ratings. Using the “Emulate IE7″ doesn’t change the circumstances either. It only changes the view of pages within tabs and not the function of IE all-together. Sorry no good news with my current troubleshooting.

    Here’s my scenario…

    Installed IE8 as I thought it’d be nice to play with WebSlices but the damn thing kept crashing.

    I loaded IE with no add-one and then switched to IE7 emulation, restarted and loaded the toolbar. Works.

    But…

    I tolerated IE crashing before occassionally when I used the Google Saerch in the toolbar, hey, you have to put up with these things right…?

    Now I’m sat here thinking, OK, so WHAT do I actually need this damn thing for…?

    All the tools I use on the Google Toolbar I can get elsewhere.

    It’s about time we saw a fix for this.

    Best is just to use Firefox, there are many plugins which has same functions as google toolbar.
    I was in total shock when i upgraded to IE7, what a load of ….
    IE6 is much better imo and more userfriendly and fully custumizable.
