Hi, I've read through and tried all the favicon fixes already posted. Including:

Refreshing the cache
Using a different favicon that works on other websites
Using a favicon generating website
Using a Photoshop favicon plugin
Using an absolute path
Using a relative path

It works fine in all the other browsers. I'm using IE8 in Vista via Parallels on a Mac.

It's on a Moodle website and I have not altered the default Moodle code for the favicon:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $CFG->themewww .'/'. current_theme() ?>/favicon.ico" />

The site is here: http://www.olvarwood.com.au/olvarwoodonline/

Favicon path is here: http://www.olvarwood.com.au/olvarwoodonline/theme/olvar-wood/favicon.ico

Any ideas?
