Re: IE cannot access lenovo

I have no problems accessing any of your links in IE 8 on XP SP3. The Lenovo
pages have a flash 10 object, do you have flash 10?

The problem is that Lenovo sends a GZIP encoded response for all pages
but your proxy either doesn't support or breaks that response

As a workaround, try disabling HTTP1.1 in the Internet Explore
advanced settings. HTTP1.0 doesn't allow compression, so it should solv
your problem

Alternatively, you could try using another browser, such as Firefox.
realize that isn't always possible in a corporate environment

I hope that helps you out
