I was having some problems with IE 7 and my Update Manager. Half of the page was cutoff. So I uninstalled IE7 and went back to 6. This solved my problem. However, I noticed I have this web interface where others in my department have a more desktop based look. Where did this get changed on my machine? I've wiped out everything to do with Update Service yet I can't change the UI of my Update Manager.
The IE7 issue you described was something we found/fixed for the latest FLEXnet Connect release (6.0), it also affects the IE version distributed with Vista (I know it's IE7 as well, but I'm not assuming that the exact same binaries). Granted, with IE7 still not having been released, I certainly hope they don't break things like iFrame again, but who knows.
About your "desktop" look versus "web" look, you may want to contact our Support folks about that with screenshots to help them see what you mean. I can't honestly imagine the differences that you describe, so I know screenshots would be appreciated.

Thanks Kelly. Is the latest FLEXnet Connect available to anyone with a current subscription?
Absolutely. There's links to the latest agent on the publisher website as well as the main macrovision.com site. The hosted environment is obviously already 6.0 so it has any changes necessary to support vista/ie7 clients.
We'll be continuing to test scenarios with builds of Vista, however, if you do notice anything beginning with a more recent build and continuing for a few builds, please report it. It's stable enough now that we won't see the broke it this build/fixed it the next.
