Nope.  On my laptop, it never gets to the point of asking me to accept the
certificate.  Also, popups are disabled.
I've also removed IE8 (which automatically reinstalls IE7) and sett all 
the
options to default.  I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Java.  Since 
both
desktops that it works on are wired and my laptop is wireless, I disabled
the wireless and connected to router directly with wire.  No help.  Also,
the co-coworker's laptop is NOT wireless so that was drawing at straws
anyway.

It sure SEEMS like there must be something different between my laptop and
desktop, but I sure can't figure out what it is.  All known settings 
match.

Could be pop up blocker turned on maybe as well.
