QTP 11 and IE9 64bit on Win7&SP1 64bit, QTP does not recognize objects in website

[jpalos]

Hello

apologies if this is an old question, I have searched the web and forums but did not find the specific answer.

I have QTP 11 (trial) installed on my Wiin7&SP1 64bit OS laptop.

I have IE9 64bit running. (also I have IE9 32bit available, both exhibit same problem)

I can't seem to record clicks and such on the website - http://newtours.demoaut.com/

seems that QTP does not recognize any objects inside the webpage

I have the "Web" add-in selected,

and I have record settings set to: open url on record start
I have tried "run on any open browser" but this also does not work

I was able to get the object repository manager to "learn" the window
but once I close the manager it asks me to save the repository,
what do I do from here? If I save it, then "associate" it to the current action, all the objects are grayed out, and the test still cannot record
clicks on the website

I have tried on IE9 64bit and 32bit, and I have tried to run
both QTP and IE as admin. I always open QTP first, then either open IE9
myself second, or let QTP open it second.

Any thoughts or help? please let me know, thank you
