ok so I had ie 7 on my xp machine and was having issues with facebook it would always change the encoding on the page. so I downloaded ie 8 and then notice that I only have and address bar and live search. also on the top where it usually says internet exploer and the website it is no longer showing that. So I went back to ie 7 now non of my shortcuts are working ex ctrl+d used to bring you to the address bar, ctrl+backarrow use to bring up previous webpage. None of these no longer help. I installed google chrome but i dont like it as there does not seem to be ctrl+a to bring up my favorites list. any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks
 
so i just downloaded ie 8 again and so for it looks like everything is working ok
 
Why not switch to Firefox and avoid all IE problems?
 
Firefox isn't perfect.. at least not on Windows 7 64-bit. For me it's had more crashes than Billy Joel...
 
I started using Chrome on one of my computers and it's not bad. Real fast loading and searching. I use FF on most of th eothers without any real issues.
