Vista stops webpages from working

After upgrading my WIndows XP SP 2 workstation to VIsta Beta 2, I am finding
that some webpages are not displaying correctly. For example, if I enter
the URL

http://www.gyro4.org

The page will not display to completeless. There is a graphic in the upper
right that will not display no matter what I do. On my home network I also
have a Windows XP laptop and it displays the page just fine. I also have a
Mac with Safari, and it displays the page fine. And, of course, before the
upgrade the workstation displayed the page just fine.

I tried turning off WIndows Defender and various other security settings,
but it just won't display correctly. And thoughts on what might be
happenning?

I don't have an answer to your question. But I do
have some questions for you.

You *upgraded* and didn't put Vista on its own
partition or another internal hard drive?

You use this computer as your work computer?

This is not a "test" computer? You know, one
that you don't readily need to depend on?

You installed a beta OS on an important/production
machine? Overwriting a perfectly working WinXP?

Are you nuts?

The web pages themselves are working just fine. It's your computer that
isn't. Try clearing out the DNS cache and your browser(s) history,
resetting your modem/router, that sort of thing. It could be that because
you upgraded, there is some old data in the pipe clogging things up.

Also, try searching the forum, as this exact issue has been discussed more
than thrice.

And Michael... Geez! They call me caustic!

Uncheck "automatically detect settings" in tools/internet
options/connections/lan settings ... cleared up the problem for me. YMMV.

"workstation" (?!)

Perhaps I choose the wrong words...I should have used PC instead of
workstation?

I've cleaned the cache, resetted DNS entries, have turned off the automatic
detect, rebooted my belkin router, etc. I even tried Firefox on this Vista
upgraded PC/computer/workstation and it has the same problem of not
displaying the pages completely. It gets to the site, but does not complete
the loading. Other computers on my home network, which use the same belkin
router, display the page correctly. I even installed IE 7 on one of my XP
home computers and it displays it correctly. For some reason, this vista
PC/computer/workstation does not want to display the jpg file. I thought
maybe it had to do with a space in the file name, but I took that out and it
still didn't work.

In tools..internet options...advanced...there is an option to reset internet
option settings. That doesn't even help. I run as Administrator, that
doesn't help. I turn off all the non-microsoft services at boot time, that
doesn't help.

Dennis,

I can not get the page to fully display either. IE, Firefox, and Opera
do not render the whole page for me.

I don't know.

I guess it's possible that it has something to do with the web-server
recognizing a browser operating under Vista???

I have two websites with the same provider that don't work...

http://www.gyro4.org
http://www.gloriadeikids.org

And they both have the same problem. When I use the browser to go to the
web provider http://www.viux.com it also has problems, so that might be it.
