[gui-talk] Unable to Access Target.com web Site Using IE 8 With XP

[Gerald Levy]

Yes, I deleted cookies, temporary files and browsing history.  I 
investigated a little further, and discovered that this problem accessing 
the Target.com site has been reported on a number of troubleshooting sites 
over the past year or so , including the Target support site itself.  So I 
am not the only person who gets the browser not supported message when 
attempting to access the Target.com home page.
