Web site disables glass

Here's yet another Vista issue: I went to my bank's (www.chase.com) web site
in IE7. Then I get an alert that IE is temporarily shutting down glass. I
kill all the IE windows, and glass comes back. Thing is, EVERY time I go to
www.chase.com, glass gets disabled. Anyone else see this, and possibly know
why IE7 thinks this site somehow interferes with glass?
 
BTW: The upgrade advisor told me my machine is OK to run with full effects
(it scores a 3.7, with video being the 3.7), although my graphics memory
ain't all that (it's a Radeon 9600). Maybe the window takes up too much vid
memory (takes me back to the days when I'd have black icons on my screen)

Again Justin confirms he's just a world class dummy that loves to fake
being a computer expert. There is nothing wrong with the Chase site.
Just checked. It does not break Aero or turn it off. It does ask if
you want to install a Quick Time Active X control. Big deal.
 
a) who is Justin?
b) what's the point of calling someone a "dummy". This is a forum for
helping people, not getting into a pissing contest.

quicktime can break glass ... I had to start quicktime in safemode so that
it didnt screw up aero.
 
I don't have Java installed on my machine (years as a Java developer soured
me on it), and all of my ActiveX controls (except for Shockwave, which is
pretty unstable, but too many web sites force me to use it)
I think what is going on is that my video memory is nearly maxed out, and
there are enough colors on that particular web site to force Vista to
downgrade so that some mem can be freed up. I need to track down a web page
with a LOT of uncompressed color to verify that, but so far, that's my hunch
as to what's going on. If that's the case, then it most definitely is not a
Vista bug, but rather a reasonably elegant way around the mem issue
(although I would prefer glass to come back when that window closes rather
than all IE windows)
