Try deleting all Microsoft cookies and javascript in your IE 7 cache. I've had to do it more than once to restore full access.

David,
I'm able to view that page with no issues using IE 7.0.6001.

What Security / Privacy settings are you using in IE 7?
I have my set to:
- Trusted sites is using Medium security
- Added "microsoft.com" to trusted sites
- IE's Privacy settings to Medium
- If you have it set on High, then take sure to trust cookies from Microsoft.com and Live.com
Thanks,
Carl Prothman

Changed settings to match yours, still getting the same error.
Took it over to a Vista VM (new) and it worked OK.
What gives?
Is the IE7 on the WinXPSP3 broken? How to test?

Try pressing Ctrl-F5 in IE 7 to refresh this web page, and then try posting a reply.

That's what I'm running at home, and I haven't noticed anything strange.
