vista is messing with the site...

Hi,

I am slightly confused. On our website www.the-ark.net there is a an advert strip down the right hand side. When viewed with IE or FF with windows XP the ad strip is visible. However the ad strip is invisible when viewed inn IE/FF with Vista. This has been noticed on three seperate computers.

Has anyone else come across this phenomena?

I would be grateful for any wisdom.

The HTML can be taken from the site. The ad strip is in the div called headlines. Here is the css:

I'm so sure your problem is with Vista as it is with the browser. At first glance I didn't see anything inherently wrong with your code.

Using FF on Vista the ad block is not shown when the ad-block plus extension is enabled. However, when I disable this extension, I get the following:



I also don't have any problem viewing the ad block in IE7 on Vista:
