I have no problem when working with VS2008 on Windows XP and IE 7.
I recently moved to Win 7 and IE 8. the IE 8 work perfectly when browsing other websites, including The Code Project.
But when I modify an ASP.NET page and start view in browser, the background image is not shown. The tag is shown with only X.
Has anybody encountered similar problem? PS. I think my Win 7 is an x64.
Thank you beforehand.

It's microsoft, so you should know that nothing works without a patch, fix, update, upgrade or compatibility pack. At microsoft, the actual creation of a product is done after the release (since their famous windows 1.0). But for now, just have a look at one of these links:

Good luck!

Thanks E.F. Nijboer,
You have provide me with precious information. I go through the text and figure out that the problem is actually in the ASP.NET Development Server (Cassini).
It is amazing that the ASP.NET Development Server can fail in Windows 7 with IIS 7.5. I don't know if they are related but I think I am going to wait for Microsoft to fix the problem and apply patch to the VS 2008.

In the meantime, I will use IIS 7 for all my ASP.NET needs.

Again, thank you Nijboer.
