Re: After Vista SP1 IE7 and sidebar problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

No Dice. I tried most of the self help links on this post but now all I have
is a browser with the same problem and all my settings, cookies and features
are all reset.

Any other ideas?

I installed SP1 from the Windows update list. The installation finished
without errors but now IE7 is acting weird. It doesn't seem to be
displaying graphics correctly or at all and any items on a page that run
javascript do not work. Also, the sidebar does not display gadget
graphics
properly and if they are dragged off the sidebar they still do not display
correctly.

Anybody know what is going on?
