Odd attachment display in SF

Gary, it would seem if disabling addons fixes it, it isn't a browser setting. Did you try enabling 1 addon at a time, and testing each before enabling another? If you think JS is involved, you can try changing scripting options.

Tools> Internet Options> Security> Internet> Custom Level

Also, you might add 7F to your trusted zone if you haven't already

Tools> Internet Options> Security> Trusted Sites> Sites> Add url to list

Before you consider a clean install, you could do the Reset IE option in Shyams restorator tool.

I'd bet it has something to do with having that Norton AV installed.

Seems a rather odd and isolated set of circumstances that you can't seem to get around.

I agree Aaron, it odd. However Norton has given me no problems in the past years. This all started after I had installed a little program called Stioc Jokesters T-Clock, which allowed the clock in the task bar to have different formats and colors. About a week after I installed it my system came to a crawl, then a bit later Norton squawked about it being a trojan. That initiated the first clean install, which is when this problem started.

As a doc Brown science experiment I have removed Norton Internet Security 2011 with the norton removal tool and removed left over registry Symantec/Norton entries. Still no change, the snips still open at the top of the page, can't be X-ed out.

Out of interest have you tried a different browser , if the problem persists its not a IE issue.

Yes Boobah, I tried IE9 but none of the off-brand ones.

I think I finally figured this out, I'll have to reinstall Norton to be sure. I have DivX plugin and web player in addons, with them disabled all is well. DivX has two versions, I suspect I downloaded their beta by mistake because I had it before when everything was working.


Thanks again to all who replied.

EDIT: Norton reinstalled and all is working correctly.

Think I mentioned the addons.

Good job in fixing it.
