Issue/Introduction

Description:

The pop-up window he gets reports: AHD04805: Preparing Report, but do not present the report. Doing the same activity with IE 7, works perfectly.

Solution:

In addition, ensure you add the CA Service Desk URL to the IE's Trusted site's list, AND then disable pop-up blocker in that Trusted Sites zone by:
