Re: What is it with Vista and IE7? Can't pull up nbc.com???

Sorry for the delay... Life keeps getting in the way.

I cannot load NBC (http://www.nbc.com) from the XP Tablet version running in
a virtual machine. For me, the browser simply times out and gives the generic
"Page cannot be displayed" error message. I can load all the other sites I
usually go to. I haven't loaded anything that isn't on the XP install disks.
This is a completely generic install.
