Not functional under Crossover 11

Using the Tips & Tricks suggestion, it's possible to get IE 8 to launch, however 10 seconds or so after launch, the fatal error dialog pops up, and IE 8 closes after dismissing the dialog.

This is a regression from previous versions which would continue to function even after the dialog, and I would recommend not upgrading to 11 if you need IE 8.

in my case, the window opens, some graphical stuff works, such as bookmark pane, but menu is inaccessible and it can't load any pages.

Follow the instructions in "Tips and Tricks" and try again. You need to manually add a registry key.

Here's my crash backtrace from Crossover 11.0.2:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000004 in 32-bit code (0x7bc5f0e8).

System information:

I have the same problem.

Follow the hint from "http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16041" and change wininet to nativ.

Now IE 8 is working.

Try :)

If your IE8 crashes when switching to compatibility view, changing urlmon to nativ fixes the problem for me.

Are you doing this on Linux or Mac? I still get serious error and frozen screen.

I've had the exact same issue and none of the workarounds were effective until I found this the following at
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29642

Goto regedit as suggested previously, but delete these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes

-> Doesn't crash anymore, but shows "Manage add-ons" window on every run. Select 'Close' and proceed.

I did the above and it made IE8 functional. I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't absolutely necessary.

This worked for me using Crossover 11.1 and OS X Lion. Thanks! Back to hacking my perfectly fine website to work in a sh!tty browser.

followed the instructions and deleted those two keys and it worked for me under 11.2.2 & Lion 10.7.5.

Goto regedit as suggested previously, but delete these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes

Thanks! Deleting these two registry folders helped for me (I'm on OS X 10.8.2).

Deleting both register keys also worked on 12.0 on Ubuntu 12.10

Thanks

Appears to have worked for me here on OsX 10.8.2, using Crossover 12.1.1. (the search scope registry key deletions)

So I have followed all the tips here, & although I can get IE8 to run without the crash, it freezes no matter what site I open. It freezes when I try to scroll down. I have version 12.2.2 running on osx 10.8.4
