Hi Katrina,
We tried to reproduce the issue with IE8 and Windows XP Pro SP3, but everything worked fine. What OS is installed on your machine? Can you send us detailed information about your system? Run msinfo32 (Start | Run...), save the information it provides to an *.NFO file (File | Save...) and send it to us by using the following web form:

In case the zoom level option differs from 100%, try setting it to 100% and let us know whether the problem persists.
