SWV 6.1 SP7: Activating any layer on startup makes IE8 useless

  • 1.  SWV 6.1 SP7: Activating any layer on startup makes IE8 useless

    Posted Nov 28, 2011 02:37 PM

    Whenever I activate a layer on startup using SWV SP6.1 SP7 IE doesn't work properly. I can''t go to any webpages unless I open up a new tab. It doesn't error, just sits there doing nothing. If I do open a new tab and download something it doesn't save. I choose the location and it looks like it downloads, then I go through windows explorer and the file isn't there. It also removes my favorites. At first I thought this might be caused by putting Java, Silverlight, or Flash in a layer, but it happens with all layers; even programs that don't interact with IE. This only occurs when they activate on startup. If I activate a layer after the machine has started IE works fine. I've tried partial activation which eliminates the IE problem. The only issue is I can't get plugins like flash or Java to work when they're partially activated. Has anyone else run into this?
