IE8 Developer tools don't work

IE8 developer tools aren't working for me anymore. They just never load and
hang the browser. Same with script debugging. What's wrong and how do I fix
this?

Thanks,

Why, you're just full of IE8 problems today, aren't you?

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista 64-bit SP2;
Win7 RC; Win7 RTM) when posting in a forum or newsgroup.

Is this a sudden, new problem or...?

mean...

I am having the same problem with IE8, the developer tools that are BUILT IN
to IE8 (you know, the one that is supposed to come up when you press F12). I
am running on Windows 7. Something changed, and now when I bring it up there
is a blank window. I assume this is due to a change from a recent update. I
sure wish it were a known issue!!! Any idea how to fix???

I have never visited <URL:http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/tan/gen001.htm>
before. When I invoke Developer Tools on that page, Microsoft Internet
Explorer grabs 2 GB VM and hangs.

To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your specific problems &
computer instead of hijacking someone else's thread from 2 months ago.
State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP2)
in your first post.
