    I was running with IE7 something and running just fine.  I just upgraded to IE8 and now when I run my asp.net apps in debug mode, they are not happy.  About 50% of the time I get nothing.  I have to Shift + F5 and start again.  Usually the second time is fine.  Also, my views that used to work (centered, etc) now are showing up goofy. 

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I generally have not had any issues with IE8.  You might look at using the IE7 compatibility mode as an option.  Look at the Compatibility View Settings item on the Tools menu in IE8.

    What about reinstalling Visual Studio 2008 and have it see the new IE8?  I hate to push everything back to IE7 compatibility.

    It's an option, but I did not have to do that as I installed IE8 after Visual Studio had been installed.  If anything, I would uninstall IE8 and then reinstall it.

    As for IE7 compatibility, I was suggesting this as something to check to see if you were still having issues with IE8 overall.  Note that the purpose for the IE7 compatibility is because there are many sites that have not been updated for IE8.  This includes some ASP.NET sites since IE8 wasn't available when the latest version was released.
