Quirks Mode & IE8 Problem

I have a very strange issue regarding only IE8 + Windows Vista, the error is very strange, I'll use some example names.

I have 2 pages, page1.html and page2.html, when opening both typing the address directly, there is no quirks mode.

When page2.html is opened via a _blank link (new window), it is displayed in Quirks Mode, this ONLY happens when the page is opened the way mentioned above.

Things I've tried

Things to note:

This just baffles me, it works fine from IE8 on Windows7, and also works fine with IE6 on Windows XP.

Update: This doesn't happen on the test server, only on the production server, so is there anything server side that could affect this?

Also tried <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" > which I thought would force it to render as IE-8, but alas, it doesn't work.

This was a rather straight forward problem, it was nothing to do with the page having bad code, it was an IE addon that caused it, thanks for help.

Click Tools (right click the top of the browser window if you don't have a menu bar to enable it) -> Compatibility View Settings -> check if your intranet zone is set to display in compatibility view.
