Hi everyone! I was having the annoying "IE Bug" on the WDW Dining Reservation website. I had IE8.0 installed but I got the error: "Did you know that your Internet Explorer is out-of-date? Our dining reservation system does not support Internet Explorer 6 or earlier versions. You will need to upgrade your version of Internet Explorer to a newer version"."
To make matters worse, my Firefox browser was also not behaving properly with the Disney restaurant reservation site either. I has to use Chome instead.
I figured out what MY problem was and maybe it's yours too.
I went to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ (as suggested in another thread). the "User Agent" tells websites which browser you are using and any compatibilities. Well, I got the strangest HTTP_USER_AGENT ever:
The solution is here:

I fired up regedit, found the registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform" and deleted it.
My User Agent is now:
Now I have to figure out what is stopping Firefox from opening up the pop up properly ...

It doubled my browser's identification... once as MSIE 8.0 and again as MSIE 6.0 thing (in red). It turns out that some program that used Borland C++ horked up my User Agent long ago when I used 6.0. I figured that the Disney website saw the MSIE 6.0 in the User Agent, ignored the MSIE 8.0 and threw up the error.HTTP_USER_AGENT:Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; http://bsalsa.com) ; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; MS-RTC LM 8; InfoPath.2)
