Hi Jeremy,
On Windows XP with IE7, I could not duplicate the problem. It also
works fine with Firefox. In addition, Microsoft's solution requires
Microsoft-specific classes (com.ms.*) available only to Visual J++
(not Sun's JVM). So Microsoft's official solution is proprietary (big
surprise). So I would suggest ImageJ stick with the rundll32 solution.
