Thanks for the idea David.
after a lot of testing I found things worked a lot better for me, but I
still had the problem. it seemed to be more so on some sites over others,
but it still happened, and it still happened on html based help files as
well.

After right clicking on the icon and disabling all add ons, IE8 loaded
much
faster. A site I use frequently loaded not only quicker but without the
necessity to refresh or redraw the screen in order to gain access to the
links. In other words, the page had focus immediately.
Whether this would happen every time only time will tell.
Now the problem is to decide which add ons etc to disable under Tools Add
Ons to make the improvement permanent.
Cheers
Neville.

Just wanted to suggest, that you do one of the following, in IE8.
Don't know, if this will affect the problems described in this thread.
I can confirm much of the previous mentioned behavior, and just
realized these options. Have to try it out, to see if it has any
impact, or maybe some of you already have been there, and could tell
if it does affect the behavior or not.
1. Goto your desktop (Win-D), and find the Internet Explorer icon.
Bring your mouse onto the icon (INS-NumPad+), and right-click
(Numpad*). In the drop-down menu, choose 'start without add-ons'. When
IE opens, you should be running a CLEAN IE, without any activeX
controls, toolbars, accelerators etc. Try to see if this solves your
problems. If you decide it does, move on to the next step. Just keep
in mind, if you close, and reopen IE, the normal way, it will open
with all your ADD-ONs turned on, so for the next few sessions, follow
this
step 1.
2. In IE8, go to the Tools menu, and then choose Manage Add-Ons. In
the dialog box opening, go through the different cattegories, and
disable the add-ons you don't think should be there, or you don't have
any use for. When finished choose CLOSE, then close and reopen IE8
(the normal way). It will now be running only the add-ons that you
decided to leave enabled.
Microsoft has a short help notice in the screen you will find, when
following step 1. It says, that Add-ons might cause your browsing
experience to change, and even malfunction. This is why, I got the
idea, that it could be, this might help somehow on the problems,
formerly discussed in this thread. Also, when I scrooled down the list
of add-ons, I found that certain add-ons - like Windows Messenger -
was told to be 'not available', and still Enabled. I simply disabled
such ones, not knowing, if they might be fractions of old stuff, that
could be causing trouble; time will show. I am running Windows Live,
hence the old Windows Messenger, is of no use to me...
If anyone of you, either already have tried this out, or want to try
it, and can come back, please, with some feedback as to whether this
makes IE more stabil, I am sure most of us, would appriciate this.

Do you happen to have a 7.01 installation disk? I don't, and so
would have to install 7.0, which crashes quite a lot under vista, and
then apply the
7.01 upgrade patch. is that what you did, or did you accidentally
downgrade yourself to 7.0?
thanks.

Just to see what would happen I just did a uninstall and reinstall of
Window Eyes on my XP system and needing to redraw the screen with IE
8 seems to be much better. Could be a quirk but is easy enough to
try.

I did try running with scripting disabled, and it did not help
unfortunately.
yes, I know some are running just fine with IE 8; it's very
frustrating, but I also know that both MS and GW are working on it.

I upgraded to ie8 because it is faster than ie7 and if it does
crash, it doesn't lock up windows. I still prefer ie8 to firefox
3, but that's probably just a matter of old habits on my part.
