Can't Successfuly Create Web Desktop Schedules

[Guest]

I am running a Dell Desktop PC with Windows XP Professional installed on it.
I was using the web desktop to display weather map web sites. I had the maps
associated with schedules so that they updated every 5 minutes or 15 minutes
or so. The problem is that awhile back the maps stopped automatically
updating. They can still be updated by right-clicking on the desktop and
manually selecting the 'Refresh' option but they no longer automatically
update according to their original assigned schedules.

When I investigated the situation, I discovered that all of the schedules
that had been listed in the Display Properties\Desktop Tab\Customize Desktop
Button\Web Tab\"selected web page"\Properties Button\Schedule Tab are now
gone. If I use that same 'Schedule' tab to add a new schedule, the schedule
is then correctly listed in the 'Using the following schedule(s)' list box
but as soon as I do the appropriate clicking of the 3 'OK' buttons and then
return to the same 'Schedule Tab', the schedule that I just added is gone and
there are once again no schedules listed. How do I put back in place the
ability to create schedules so that I can then assign them to web desktop
items?

A colleague of mine has correctly pointed out that there is a known bug with
IE 7.0 that results in the loss of the auto-scheduling functionality of
Windows Active Desktop. I have uninstalled IE 7.0 from my computer and have
started to use FireFox and my problems are over for now.
