IE6 support in Vault 5

[cerberus]

We use IE6 (we can't use anything better, company policy) and I'm finding some of the screens in the Vault 5 web interface aren't working properly. On quite a few screens the content is placed in a small frame with scrollbars even when there is plenty of screen space, see attached example. I assume this is because of the browser version we have.

The system requirements for Vault 5 list a client of Windows 2000 or later as being required. I believe IE6 is default browser on Windows 2000 and earlier versions of XP.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Are you using Windows XP or Windows 2000? Which service packs do you have installed?

[cerberus]

Windows XP SP3

We're running some tests. Right now some of us get the normal window in IE6 and some of us match what you have. I will keep digging and will know more later.

Any update on this?

[Beth]

A bug has been logged and a fix is being worked on. I am expecting it to be in the next release, which will probably be Vault 5.0.2.

[cerberus]

When is version 5.0.2 expected to get available?

I don't have a date on that yet. In the meantime, if you would like, there is a version of Firefox that doesn't have to be fully installed that can connect and view that page: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable.
