SUPPORT: Windows XP SP2 - Information Bar blocks Check Hotmail (makes you enter pass)

[gustavoguevara]

Howdy,
I installed SP2 last night (windows XP Pro) and noticed that when I would click on Check Hotmail (on the MSN Menu) it somehow blocks the redirect and takes you to the hotmail home page. I believe its the new "Information Bar" that installs itself on IE.

This is on Trillian Pro ... (my support expired, so posting here).

Its getting annoying, but can live without it.

Cheers,
gustavo

tools --> internet options --> advanced --> security --> allow active content to run in files on My computer (tick, then select apply)

should work now. At least that did it for my email.
