Internet Explorer 8 Portable -

When it was released, IE8 introduced several features that we now take for granted:

| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |--------|--------------|----------| | "Internet Explorer has stopped working" on launch | Missing Visual C++ 2005/2008 redistributables | Install vcredist_x86.exe (2008 SP1) from Microsoft | | Pages show "cannot display XML" | Missing stock Windows components | Copy msxml3.dll and msxml6.dll from an old XP VM into the portable folder | | ActiveX control doesn't load | Security zone restrictions | Inside IE8 Portable, add the site to Trusted Sites and lower security | | No sound for embedded media | Missing legacy codecs | Use the portable version alongside klmcodec.exe (K-Lite Basic) | | Slow rendering on modern hardware | CPU core detection bug | In launcher config, set affinity: singlecore | Internet Explorer 8 Portable
