What operating system and version of Internet Exploder are you
running?


There's only one[1][2] OS that runs IE, and it's not one of the good
ones.

Justin.

1. Many versions, but still the same OS
2. It did run on OS X too until MS stopped supporting it. It was *very*
bad though[3].
3. As is most MS stuff on other platforms.

Justin C, by the sea.

Yeah, so I don't like MS, you wanna make something of it?

Nope. Have you noticed they have pulled the plug on Vista?



Correction - WE have pulled the plug on Vista. M$ is simply complying with
our demands....(c;

Oh, THAT I can agree with. I have zero MicroS..t products on our (now)
3 machines.

Just saw an Infoworld survey the other day that only 3% of companies
have switched to Vista in the nearly 2 years it's been out; 57% expect
to leapfrog Vista to 7.

Having done a switch from NT to XP in our company, they'd have to pay
me megabucks to do the same for Vista. And I probably would skip out
before they throw the final switch, as I've heard too many of the
stories.

SPOT tech support was quite useless. I am running Windows XP completely up
to date and Firefox 3 though I also have IE 7. SPOT won't show me a shared
page on any of them nor on my laptop which is running Windows ME. I just
get a blank page with the SPOT logo.


Something is getting in the way. I'm using IE 7 with plain vanilla
Vista on my home desktop with no problems. Do you have Firewall
software installed or pop-up blockers? I'd suspect something like
that.

Redirected me to a new shared page:

0VC8x0r9JUgIniche7ZeYWUa0SLl40PnT
and then that page shows no input at all at 1648EST 11/4/08

Same here. Nothing there. But then, I have never been able to make SPOT
display. I have Java and Java scripts up the gazoo to no effect.



I've had the same problem, except it did work at one point. Their tech
support was no help. Runs on my laptop with no problem, with IE6. IE7 worked
on my desktop a while ago, but something changed and now it doesn't.

Yeah, I have that as well as others, and it works fine with those.

This could rival watching paint dry.
