I finally let windows nag me into upgrading from IE6 to 8.

Now in visual studio 2008 when I try and edit an MFC dialog box, I get a "an error has occured on this page - continue running scripts? error"
The add variable screen has a warning "an add-on for this website failed to run"

Does Visual Studio 2008 work with IE8?
Is this some mysterious plot to stop people using MFC? (times are hard - I have to earn a living)
Any idea what magic setting I set to fix this?

edit - thanks to Mr Ghost, the solution is regedit.

Under “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet 
Settings\Zones”, create a new key called 1000 (if it isn't already there)
-          Under 1000, create a DWORD entry with:
Name = 1207
Type = REG_DWORD
Data = 0x000000

You tried Google first? The First hit explains what it is and how to workaround it locally.

It has something to do with some security setting in the wizard's custom internet zone.

Thanks, I must have put different search terms. I just got posts about the beta and lots of speculation about how to fix it.
