When I use one of the automatic gallery creators (a modified white on black – see:

from Bridge, everything goes as before, when I was using XP. But only after finishing and uploading dozens of new galleries with hundreds of images, did I notice that when a thumbnail is clicked and the image comes up, the box below, which is supposed to have the file name was blank.

When making more galleries, I later discovered that I had to click on a box above the image warning about Active X or scripts and then choose to unblock it. I thought this solved the problem as the names of all appeared. Then when I just finished another huge batch of galleries and images, did I notice that next time I opened such images, the names were gone, and I had to choose to unblock content every time I opened a gallery again.

I talked with Microsoft for about 2 hours regarding this and in the end they said there was no solution as it is inherent in Internet Explorer with Vista.

I just couldn’t believe it. I had a Vista 64 machine built specifically to work on my photos as the XP machine had been so unbearably slow with Bridge and other things. Now I have high speed but can’t upload the galleries as before.

does anyone else have such a problem?

Well, you can manually override security zone settings with your group policy editor in Vista, but it would be ill-advised due to causing a security hole. You may also selectively add your image site to your "trusted sites" in the Internet settings, which would be a better way. For more refined control, consider installing Internet Explorer 8, which takes this even further. Short of that, simply use a different template or adjust the code. It isn’t done correctly and doesn’t work in other browsers, either.
