Internet Explorer 7 and Blackboard

If you are having trouble getting Blackboard to
run properly using Internet Explorer 7, try the
procedure recommended by our IT staff.

These changes are only needed for Internet Explorer 7 and are not needed for Internet
Explorer 6 or older. To make the necessary changes, follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer 7
2. Near the top right corner of the window, click on “Tools”
3. Select the last item called “Internet Options”
4. Click on the second tab called “Security”
5. Click on the icon labeled “Internet”
6. Click on the button at the bottom called “Custom Level…”
7. Scroll about 80 percent of the way down to the section called “Scripting”
8. Find the item called “Allow Programmatic Clipboard Access“ and make sure it is enabled
9. Find the item called “Allow Status Bar Updates Via Script” and make sure it is enabled
10. Click OK
11. Click on the icon labeled “Trusted sites”
12. Click on the button called “Sites”
13. Uncheck the item called “Require server verification (https:) for all sites on this zone”
14. In the text box, type http://blackboard.kutztown.edu and click “Add”
15. In the text box, type http://bbkutztown.sytec.passhe.edu and click “Add”
16. In the text box type http://kutztownbb.sytec.passhe.edu and click "Add"
17. Click "Close"
18. Click "OK"

Once these changes are done, Blackboard should work properly with IE7.
