I know this may seem to be a similar bug to the one reported here:
http://drupal.org/node/180047
But that is talking about iframes. I found this in the basic install of Drupal 5.7, with the current release version of CAPTCHA and the standard theme set. The CAPTCHA shows up just fine for the registration screen, but not on the comment screen. (Set as active for both.) Yes, I do have all comments coming from 'visitors' set to go into a moderation queue (thankfully!). But, it isn't showing there in IE7.

Not sure if this matters, but I'm using the Math CAPTCHA type in the pack, and not the image types...

If you're saying that it doesn't show up in IE7, do you imply that it does show in other browsers like Firefox?
if so, what's the difference in the markup?

it could also be a caching issue: if you use page caching, and you enable CAPTCHA afterwards, you could still see the old cached pages (without CAPTCHA), be sure to clear the page cache after enabling CAPTCHA (or disabling caching)

Sorry to take so long to respond. In IE 7, I had indeed cleared the cache (temporary Internet folders) at the time and the CAPTCHA was not there; although it was there in Firefox 3 and Opera. Did the upgrade to Drupal 5.8 yesterday, and now it is showing up just fine in IE7 too. So, let's mark this one as resolved by something in that core update. Still no clue as to what, but at least its gone! Thanks for your time!
