It's hard to tell at this point, really. If you take a look around the
newsgroup here, we are seeing a real rash of IE problems that seem to be
related to the installing of the SP2, and sometimes it is difficult for us
to determine the actual cause. So far, some are resolvable by applying some
of the solutions we've been able to come up with, and others are not so
easily done.
I'll check into this a bit more and see what might help. Perhaps one of the
experts here might have a suggestion that will help with this kind of
situation. I'll get back to your here as soon as I can get more information
on this for you. :-)
Jan :)
