Aloha all. I installed IE8 beta, and now something odd happens on some of my pages (ABC News, for instances). When there is a photo with a caption, the caption at first appears correctly, then moves up over the photo and I cannot read the caption. I cannot find a switch in the options that might control this. I was able to remove IE8 Beta in the Control Panel, but now cannot reinstall IE7. Can anyone help me either fix the text problem, of reinstall IE7? Thanks!

I recently tried to install SP3 and got an access denied err…

Once connected users can access Unix servers as if local, and used to run Novell login. Novell login script would map drives for user. How does a remote user access Windows server resources, drive mappings? PCs are set to boot up to Windows login for domain. Thanks.
