SYMPTOMS
When you use Visual InterDev 6.0 to write comments in Active Server Pages (ASP), all text between the &quot;<%&quot; and &quot;%>&quot; is marked with yellow color. Normally, only the &quot;<%&quot; and &quot;%>&quot; characters are displayed with a yellow background and the comment between them appears as normal text.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
This occurs only on computers on which Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 was installed in &quot;compatibility mode&quot; (to have both Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer 4 running at the same time). Visual InterDev 6.0 displays comments correctly when only Internet Explorer 4 or only Internet Explorer 5 (without compatibility mode) are installed on the computer.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, uninstall Internet Explorer 5, then reinstall the program without &quot;compatibility mode&quot;.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Install Internet Explorer 4 and Visual InterDev 6.0.
 * 2) Start Internet Explorer 5 installation. Choose Install Minimal or customize your browser.
 * 3) Click the Advanced button, and select Compatibility - Allows you to run both Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer 4 at the same time.

When Internet Explorer 5 installation is finished, all comments in Visual InterDev 6.0 become colored.
