Default POST Variable problem with Vista Home

Hello,

I have a strange problem that is only occuring on a new Vista Home Dell
laptop in IE7. On the website I have a login screen that uses POST Variables
to get the user name and password. However, on this 1 brand new DELL laptop
the POST variables are not getting picked up. My other Vista Ultimate
machine works as well as all of my XP machines. The problem only occurs on
IE7 and works using Fire Fox. Has anyone run into this? It must be a
setting in IE7 but I have no idea what. I have 850 + people that have
signed up but I don't know how many of these are Vista machines.

Thanks in Advance,

Vic

I had this problem once with a virus scanner (Kaspersky beta 6)

Try this: var_dump($_POST);

OK - I dumped the POST variables and the Vista Home machine is empty after
receiving the username and password. On the other machines the dump shows
them correctly.

Here's something else that I noticed. I have a "Forgot Password" link on
the screen and if I hover on it, it shows &PHPSESSID and a long string of
numbers which is not on the other machines
