PWA 2003 grids don't display after security updates

[nkbrgs]

PWA 2003 grids don't display after installing Oct security patches for IE7
and XP and Vista. We re-installed the Project ActiveX controls and it didn't
help on XP. Re-installing on Vista machines did correct the problem but not
on XP. We are using Project 2003 SP3. We are unable to see any data under
Project Center or any of the pages that display a grid of any kind. I am able
to log directly onto the Project Server and us IE7 on the server to access
PWA just fine, however the server doesn't have any IE7 security updates. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...however we are in a very secured network environment and not able to
turn off any firewall or virus protection. This has worked for years without
disabling anything, so something has changed since installing security
updates.
Does anyone know of any MS fixes or solutions without disabling these?

Thanks,

The grids or panes do not display in the frames, Project Center page
states"Loading Data"
At the bottom of the screen, the status bar says "Error on this page" the
error is "Object doesn't support this property or method"
This occurs on other pages and the Admin page under users also.

Have you set the browser compatibility settings?

Are you refering to IE8? We are using IE7. I'm not sure how to perform this
in IE7 unless you are refering to Reset Internet Explorer settings.

Sorry, not applicable to IE7. So, what security updates were installed that
caused this to happen?

The issue was noticed after installing KB974455. We also had 7 XP updates
installed at the same time but figured it was related to the IE7 update
because we experienced the same issue on Vista machines. We were able to fix
the Vista machines by re-installing the PWA ActiveX. This process did not fix
the XP machines.
I'm not able to back out the patches due to a government environment.

Have you tried manually deleting the Active X objects using a DOS command
del pj*.* ??

Sometimes, deleting them through the browser interface just doesn't get the
job done.

 

[nkbrgs]

Yes, we have tried that and still receive the same results after re-installing.

Just wanted to post that this issue has been resolved after installing the
latest MS security updates for IE and Windows XP.

Funny how it the issue started after the Oct security updates and the Dec
security updates now fixed it.
