If the patch was installed and the computer was no rebooted you will experience things like not being able to type in text input fields. Rundll32.exe memory dumps, and missing menus and toolbars. To fix this rebooting seems to do the trick." Rebooting fixed the issue. Thanks man! Legend! I had the same issue he had:

However, I believe IE8 is actually much more web-standards compliant than the older versions. Websites that don't work well in IE8 (but do work with older IE versions or in compatibility view) were probably coded to use the older IE hacks, and are not standards-compliant. In the long run, we're probably better off if websites gradually get re-coded to meet the standards. It will save hassle for web programmers (who don't have to create pages to match specific browsers), and should make it easier for users to select the browser of their choice (IE, Firefox, etc) and not run into problems because their browser doesn't work on certain sites. In the meantime, I admit it's a pain. I agree that there are annoyances. However, I believe IE8 is actually much more web-standards compliant than the older versions.
