I have noticed that I am not able to load 3-d images since upgrading to IE 6 on a windows 2000 machine. As an example the phones on sprintpcs.com do not load. I can load these images using IE 6 on NT4.0 server. Any Idea what is going on here. I havenot made any changes to the default security settings.

I can't find anything about it on Technet.

All other images load with no problems. Just the images that rotate or that you can move around don't load.

Ideas?

I am not totally sure about this, but I think you need the Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java for those to work. Go to www.microsoft.com/download
then select your OS, and then Virtual Machine. Download it and install it, then try the web site.
'Cause I run IE6 and those 3D views of the phones spin just fine, and I know I have VM.

PS: Are we related???

Joseph, thanks for the info. I loaded it and it corrected the issue. MS must have corrected this in later ie 6 upgrades because I updated another w2000 PC and it worked fine. It is now listed as a hotfix on the download page.

After downloading the JVM, check your security settings and also the "advanced" tab in the settings and make sure none of your settings got changed to disallow java. Sometimes when upgrading, settings get messed up and IE6 has more secure defaults than 5 did.

Just a thought.
