Hi all I just did a clean install of Vista 64 Home Premium and have run into
a strange problem. I cannot log in to the XFX Support website using either 32
or 64 bit IE7 on the Vista machine. I can log in fine using an XP machine.
Further when I tried to fill in the form to d/l the office 2007 trial version
so I could import my mail folder from my backup disk into Vista Mail the form
would reset everytime I selected the US as my country (was my only option, I
assume since I had already input my state). In Firefox the form would appear
to reload when I chose US but would keep everything I'd typed in as well as
saving that I chose US. IE7 just wiped out all the text boxes and reset the
country to choose country.

Needless to say since it blanked the form every time I couldn't get the
trial initially. I've somewhat bypassed the problem by installing and using
Firefox 3 which is not having either of these problems.

The install was a clean install with nothing more than Vista, drivers and
updates installed.

Any ideas?

P.S. I tried the IE7 group but they seemed to think I should post in the
Vista groups

Work with the most comfortable web browser, e.g. your favorite firefox
3. Internet options of MSIE 7 has advanced features that doesn't have
in MSIE 6 sp1, check it out with google search.
