I can't find anything that says either way....

Wondering if a setting in IE8 breaks it.

Because of significant code and feature changes in Internet Explorer 8,
some previously existing web pages are not be compatible with the new
browser.

Web pages that were developed for previous versions of Internet
Explorer, or with proprietary HTML or scripting extensions, might not
function the same way in Internet Explorer 8. Web developers need to
test their web pages to identify compatibility issues with Internet
Explorer 8, and redesign web pages that do not function properly.

For now, try Compatibility View.

I think the timing is purely coincidental. This gadget picks up an rss feed
from feeburner and their service seems to be becoming increasingly
unreliable. My Dilbert gadget hasn't worked for a little while either, but
I wasn't too worried about it because that has happened in the past. In the
course of researching this issue while writing this, my gadget started
working again. Perhaps it was because I did a tracert to feedburner.com and
tried to access their website with several browsers (including from XP IE6
virtual machine). Try running a ping or tracert to feedburner.com,
accessing the website with your browser, or directly accessing the Dilbert
feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/vistadilbert23
