i have two pc's running xp - fully patched. both are domain machines and are   
   in the same ou in active directory so are pretty much set up identically. the   
   only real difference is in the software installed on them.   
   pc A is only running some work applications whereas pb B has some development   
   tools installed - vs2003/8 and sql server 2005   
      
   we use some web based software called MSP which allows us to take control and   
   remotely manage mobile devices. when selecting a device, a new window fires   
   up, runs a java applet, and allows connectivity to the remote device - bit   
   like a remote desktop    
   session.   
      
   If i run this as an administrator then this all works fine. the problem arises   
   when trying to run this as a std domain user.   
      
   pc A works fine, but on pc B when the new window fires up, the java applet   
   does not start and you are left with a nearly blank window (bit of text) and   
   no message. i have enabled the console in java and it is not getting that far   
   either.   
      
   the only thing i have come up with so far is to enable the developer tools in   
   IE and one thing i have noticed is this. as part of firing up the new window,   
   some scripting runs that tries to access the properties of the parent window.   
   the script halts    
   with an "access denied" error and if you check the locals window then you can   
   see this applies to all the attributes of the parent window. i believe this is   
   an ajax script   
      
   but my problem is that within a session, it either fails here every time with   
   this error, or it doesnt. i suspect its me not using the tool correctly rather   
   than the problem being intermittent but granted, this could be a red herring.   
      
   everything i read online about this problem points to the developers aspect of   
   it but we dont access to the source so changing that is not an option.    
      
   even defaulting the the security settings in IE results in change of behaviour   
   between the pc's    
      
   i believe the problem is permissions based somewhere along the line but i   
   really have no idea where to go with this now. any takers??   
      
   thanks in advance
