        <description><![CDATA[Same issue but I do not have WindowsBlind. I disabled visual stylesheet and even removed a theme from Control panel and reset my ie settings back to default and I still have the same issue.  It???s like I hit a hot key and now my ie8 is teeny tiny. There is No WindowsBlind icon in taskbar or off Start menu, or at least I can not find it.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[oh my god- you GENIUS! haha FINALLY a solution- phew- i am so glad that i did not have to (a)give up my visual styles [albeit a few minor elements of them on buttons &amp; such] and (b)reset my internet options settings...awesome- thanks for pointing out this rather obvious solution- i cannot believe i did not realize or think about this myself- awesome, awesome, so glad this &quot;pesky&quot; issue is fixed- though it is so annoying that we even have to go through such nonsense just to make Windows XP look good- quite frankly, they make it a big pain in the arse, haha, where if they would just accept &amp; embrace Visual Styles there wouldn't be such bitter resentment... but anyway- off topic- THANKS AGAIN SO, SO MUCH- i will just have to sacrifice pretty buttons, that's all! :P]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[EEEWWW! NO! damn it- i don't use Windows Blinds, but i do use Visual Styles with the uxtheme patch- this sucks- i don't waaaant this to be the problem...  T^T ~sniff sniff~It figures though- it's ridiculous to begin with that Microsoft is not willing to go beyond the 3 boring, not to mention hideous (most especially when faced with the thousands of much more beautiful alternatives available) Visual Styles that come with Windows XP.So,i have to choose between form (aesthetics) vs function... between having a sleek &amp; sexy visual style, but with I.E displaying teeny-tiny text boxes/buttons on various sites ... OR ... I.E functioning just fine- no itty bitty boxes- BUT looking as boring and ugLEEE as ever...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ahh... ok so, i just need a little more clarity on a few things- first thing, you say that upon clicking the &quot;RESET&quot; button, my various add-ons &amp; toolbars (such as my google toolbar) will be DISABLED but NOT deleted- so, all i have to do is go back into the &quot;Add-On Manager&quot; and re-enable them, correct? Also, when they are re-enabled, will THEIR individual settings remain the same as before? They will not be affected by this? So, for example, my &quot;custom google toolbar buttons&quot; will still be there? Also, you mentioned that Search Provider settings would be affected- will i also lose all of the additional search providers i have added to my search box?Thanks again for your time &amp; for helping me with this rather bizarre problem :P]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ok- while in &quot;Internet Options&quot;, under the &quot;ADVANCED&quot; tab, there are 2 buttons used for resetting- one of them says &quot;Reset Advanced Settings&quot; (which im guessing will specifically be resetting only those settings which appear under the &quot;ADVANCED&quot; tab); the other button, which is the one you are, I think, referring to, reads &quot;RESET&quot;- next to which is a warning that reads &quot;You should only use this if your browser is in an unusable state&quot;. Also, i read your other reply detailing which settings will be affected by this- (thanks for that, i seriously appreciate the time and effort that so mnany people are willing to put into helping others on forums such as this)- but i just want to be sure that the only settings affected are the ones found under &quot;Internet Options&quot;- and by &quot;resetting&quot; it means &quot;resetting back to default settings&quot;, right? Im only asking questions that seem repetitive &amp; maybe stupid just to be sure- that little warning has me a little nervous- i just don't understand why they have that warning if it only resets things back to the default settings(?) Again, thanks for your help- im going to re-read your other post(s), wait for a possible reply to this and then try your advice- thanks  again!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I Had the same problem, I installed the Final version and said WTF is going on? this is the final not a beta or RC. I did some Googling but no help. I then later realised it was WindowBlinds that was causing IE8 to display incorrectly. If your running WindowBlinds or a custom theme disable it and Internet Explorer 8 works like normal.Hope this helps solve your problem.]]></description>
