ArcGIS Server issues, not loading with Internet Explorer 7

ArcGIS Server 9.2 and ArcGIS Server 9.3. When you use Internet Explorer 7 we noticed that many users on the ESRI forums were having this issue. The issue is that when you launch the server manager which typically loads in Internet Explorer, you receive the following.

“Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. For more details, check the windows event log (application log) on the web server.”

Or you just receive a blank page.

The fix was to access the server manager from another server/workstation browser, or to install firefox on the location machine.

The best fix, is to reinstall Internet Explorer 7, and everything works.
