    At site https://accesscontrol.ex.azure.microsoft.com/ManageAccount.aspx, my Windows Cardspace Information Card table shows no cards in the table. When I push the Select a Card button, I get an empty web page.

    How do I associate a new Windows Cardspace card with my Azure solution?

    Hi DonBaechtel,

    There should be a "Windows Cardspace" (Win32) windows pop up when you click on "Select a Card" button.  In order to find out what might go wrong, can you give us a bit more detail such as:

    1. What browser are you using?  Non IE browsers might need some add-on
    2. Are you using a Windows version that come with cardspace? If not, you can download it here - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/cardspace/getitnow.mspx

    It can be none of the above, but let's see if that helps.

    Hi Jenny,

    THANKS for helping.

    I am using IE8 beta, Windows XP Pro, all .Net libraries including 3.5 are installed. All XP upgrades are installed.

    When I het "Select A Card" button, a window did pop up but it was blank. The window was blank for more that 2 minutes. The windows little spinner icon was not running on the page as if it were busy.

    How do I associate a card with my solution if the page is blank?

    I tried it several times and got the same result.

    Hi Don - it looks like an issue with IE8.

    Try running it in compatability mode (by clicking the 'broken page' icon to the right of the address bar).

    It works OK in compatability mode.

    MSFT is going to have to do much more to get IE8 to work properly with ALL of their websites before they release it !

    Hi Philip,

    I'm having the same issue, except I'm running IE8 on Win7. I found that I was receiving the following script errors on the blank page.
