Netflix hover popups fail to display

With Netflix, hovering over a movie thumbnail or title displays a popup with
the title's summary and other significant information. That no longer works
with IE7 -- I've changed changing every property/control I could think of,
including turning off Pop-up Blocker, but I can't get the hover popups to
display. Is there a specific control for that which I missed? Thanks!

No suggestions here, I'm in the same boat. I called Netflix and they didn't
know anything about it. Supposedly there is a box to check (to get the
hover/info option) in the account details section right under email/password.
It seems to have disappeared for me after the ie7 install. The tech on the
phone said it was on his computer at that time.

Same here. I tried to play with all the options I could think of. No results
so far...

Me too, then I remembered http://www.ie-vista.com/sites.html which highlights
shortcuts to edit the User Agent String in Windows registry. Firefox lets you
change the User Agent String from Tools and hopefully ie7 final will also. It
works, but is it worth it??? Remember what your mother and MS told you
though, 'If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you can cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
does not guarantee that problems that you cause by using Registry Editor
incorrectly can be resolved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.'
