Windows Internet Explorer 8 is the latest web browser developed by Microsoft and became available on March 19. Microsoft is now distributing it via automatic updates as a high priority update.
Please note that IE8 has been shown to cause problems with timed tests in Blackboard (unless it is run in compatibility mode) and inconsistently works with Banner (https://inb.umt.edu). IT is holding off the distribution of IE8 to those who use our updating service until we are comfortable that it works with Blackboard and Banner. This means that IT is currently not supporting IE8.
If you configure your own Microsoft updates, you may be prompted for the install of IE8. We encourage you not to install IE8 if you use Blackboard and/or Banner at this time.
Thank you.
