That's very strange. Please try pressing F8.
A complete uninstall-reinstall cycle might help as well.

Hi,
I did not use imacros much since then, but now I want to run it on IE. However, still could not run Imacro addon on IE. The icon is there, but it does not open or start. I disable and then enable it, nothing change.I also try reinstall IE8 but it just frozen without running.
I don't know what goes wrong?
Please advise.
Thanks

Hello Haverhill,

Have you tried uninstalling iMacros using the Windows Control Panel, and then reinstall with the latest version?
Regards,

I had this issue. Installed iMacros8 on IE8 on Windows7.

The imacros explorer bar (Menu View -> Explorer Bars -> iMacros v8) would display but without anything in.

If I run IE8 'Run as Administrator' then the full explorer bar is displayed with the macro selector, play/record/edit tabs and all the rest.

Not sure why I have to be Admin in IE8 but not in FF 10.0.2
