10g XE - 404 error when I click on Home>Object Browser (in IE)

Greetings

I use 10g XE with my xp/sp3 system, with IE7 (initially IE8RC1-also problematic).
The problem is that if I click on Home>Object Browser
I always get a "HTTP 404 Not Found"/The "Webpage cannot be found" error message

I've followed the instructions from htp://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABFHAEC,
I've uninstalled my antivirus (Kaspersky Internet Security 2009) and have Windows Firewall disabled
I've setup the ports needed by Oracle to my router (1521,2030,8080)
I have even started IE in safe mode(=without addons) --- iexplore -extoff
I've tried almost anything...

With other browsers (Firefox,Google Chrome, Opera)
that "Object Browser" button works ok,
BUT at other points (eg. "SQL>SQL Scripts>Create")
they all have more or less display problems (while IE shows all other things ok).



Please help :(



PS. I've read in http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=554359
that there is a patch (#5648872) that could fix the problem,
but unfortunately http://metalink.oracle.com/ is only for Oracle's paying customers,
while I need/use Oracle 10gxe (free download) for my university lessons :( :(
