Hi Belezeebub, I have tried to access http://3d-vantage.com/ in Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8) installed on my Windows 7 RTM. However, I could not reproduce the issue you mentioned. Based on your description, it is possible the issue is related to the video card or Java add-on installed. Let's try the suggestions below to check this issue. Remove all toolbars ========== 1. Please open Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8), click Tools -> Manage Add-ons. 2. Show "Currently loaded add-ons" and then disable all Add-ons. Please check if our issue can be resolved. If so, let's move on. Check Java installed ========== Do all or most of the problematic websites contains JAVA video? Please help to confirm if Java was downloaded from the Sun website. If so, please: 1. Open Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8), click Tools -> Manage Add-ons. 2. Show "Currently loaded add-ons" and then enable Java add-on. However, if the issueoccurs orif Java was not downloaded from Sun website, please refer to Install Java in Internet Explorer to reinstall Java. If the issue still exists, try updating the display card driver. Please let me know the brand and model of the display card. If the computer is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) one, please provide the computer's brand and module as well. In addition, when the issue reoccurs, please run Aero Troubleshooter for analyzing. To do this, please go to Start -> Control Panel -> View by: Large icons -> Troubleshooting -> Display Aero desktop effects. Hope it helps. Regards, Linda
