    If you installed the latest Flash Player 9 it is known to have issues with both IE 6 and 7 Beta. Try uninstalling and installing the older version 8 instead and see if that fixes it.

    Why don't you get IE7 RC1 instead of the Betas? It's got most bugs fixed.

    This bug is present in all current versions of MS browsers. Firefox and Opera, by the way, are not affected.
