Do you have a suggestion? My debug=1 on the XP instance is as follows below. The user running the on the VM is *NOT* the same user as the 'tester' user.... Should the tester user be an admin as well? The running user is an administrator on the box. There is corporate antivirus on the XP instance. I have included the OS and IE info as well.
