Holger, the issue you pointed me to contains the solution. To fix the problem, you must follow these steps: 1. When opening a local SVG file and the "Save As" dialog comes up, select "Open With" and then select any .exe (does not matter which one, except do not use firefox.exe to avoid an endless loop). Also, select "Always open this type..." check box. 2. Go to Tools > Options... > Downloads > View & Edit Actions... and remove the file association for SVG (it bogus, evidently) 3. Load local SVG document. It should be rendered correctly by the native renderer. ------------------------ Yahoo!
