XP SP2 and No-Touch Deployment

[Guest]

I have a simple .NET 1.1 app that displays a form and a label with the
current date and time. When it is launched on a colleague's XP computer it
works fine. But on my computer no form is displayed, and no error message is
displayed. The "web page" appears to load but nothing happens. The main
difference between our machines is that I have XP SP2 installed and he does
not. I had developed another (more sophisticated) no-touch test app that
worked a while back on my machine but has stopped working since SP2 was
installed. I am using IE 6 SP2.

What IE options should I check / alter? What other things should I look for
to try and track this problem down?

Steve,

Am not 100% certain that this is the cause but it's something to
check out . RIght click My Computer, choose Properties, click the
Advanced tab, then Data Execution Prevention. Put a check next to
"Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select"
Add the app, click Apply, OK.

Thanks for the help. What it turned out to be was a problem with the IE
cache. After I deleted the temporary internet files in IE, the workstation
was able to run the No-Touch code. Not sure why, but perhaps this follow-up
will help someone else down the road.
