Re: After Vista SP1 IE7 and sidebar problems

Submit a second support request.

Does uninstalling SP1 resolve the problem?

Repost:
=> What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these enabled when you installed Vista SP1?

I have the same problem. I submitted a support request and was told that
they had never heard of this problem, so they were going to close the
ticket and if anyone else ever reported the problem they would let me know
if they found a solution.

Hopefully someone somewhere will figure out what the problem is.

Dan - did you happen to have the Java runtime from SUN installed when you
ran the Vista SP1 update? That's the only thing that I had installed that I
could think of that might be causing the problem. I uninstalled it and tried
installing the IE8 beta, but that didn't help.

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?
