When I click on the "Try the Tech Preview" on the <a href-"http://labs.live.com/photosynth/" rel="nofollow">Photosynth page</a> it goes through a browser check. But in IE6 and IE7 I run into an "Error on Page" and it doesn't continue to load the software. The specific error is: <blockquote cite="error on page">Line: 38<br>Char: 14<br>Error: Object expected<br>Code: 0<br>URL: http://labs.live.com/photosynth/systemcheck.htm</blockquote> I thought this was an early glitch when I ran into this problem yesterday, but when I tried to load it back up last night I ran into it again. The way I've been getting it to load is to click on the "Try the Tech Preview" link in Firefox and get to the point where it says: <blockquote cite="Live Labs"> This version of the Photosynth technology preview runs only on Internet Explorer 6 and 7. The Photosynth team is very interested in making the technology available outside of IE, so stay tuned for updates on this issue on the Photosynth blog. You can also subscribe to the blog's RSS feed. If you feel you've reached this message in error, you can <a href="http://labs.live.com/photosynth/unsupportedbrowser.html?collection=sanmarco/index1.sxs#" rel="nofollow">try anyway.</a></blockquote> Once I click the "try anyway" link the page half-way loads (but still doesn't work) but then I copy the link out of the Firefox Address bar which is http://labs.live.com/photosynth/view.html?syscheck=0&collection=sanmarco/index1.sxs and then I paste it into an IE6 or IE7 address bar and voila!, it works. Am I the only one who has to use this work around? I've produced the same results in IE6 using Windows XP SP2 and the latest build of Vista using IE7. The problem appears to be pretty universal at the moment. Here is something interesting that I’m surprised is still happening.
