Compatibility with Microsoft Internet Explorer^® 8

On March 19, 2009, Microsoft made Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8) part of its update system. We are working to make MyFinanceLab^® compatible with IE 8, and in the meantime it will work using the Compatibility View option. You will not need to take any action to enable this. The site will detect IE 8 and have it automatically imitate the previous web browsing functionality in IE 7.

For updated information on Pearson’s product support of IE 8, read the current 24/7 Support article on IE 8 . Click the Notify Me by Email if this Answer is Updated button in the article to keep apprised of how Pearson is working to support this important release.
