Seesmic or TweetDeck not working in Windows 7?

It seems the way of using Twitter has changed these days, with so many applications implementing twitter API and building better UI and attracting more people towards it. And as a Twitter User myself, I know that Seesmic and Tweetdeck are two major contributor and competitor in that field. So, its natural the new Windows 7 and IE8 users will also want to install and try them out and see how it performs under this new OS.
But I faced a new problem while using it, though no other of my friends had it.
Whenever you configure and Run Seesmic using Adobe AIR, the front page just stays blank. Or while configuring TweetDeck, after giving the twitter account details, when you press Submit, on the right bottom corner it just shows "Twitter Status: There is a problem - don't panic."

Here is the way to get rid of it.
Internet Explorer 8 is by default integrated with Windows 7. Among the bunch of settings of IE8, there is one that implicitly allows all the connections use a preset settings automatically. That overrides any manual settings an application might use. To keep things working, we just need to disable that setting.

For that, Open IE8 -> Tools menu -> Internet Options -> Connections Tab -> LAN Settings -> Untick Automatically detect settings -> Ok -> Ok. Restart Seesmic or TweetDeck.

That should do it.

Now, enjoy Tweeting. ^_^
