Are you using Internet Explorer? If so, you need to run it in High-
Security mode, which means that most websites will not work properly
until you put them in your trusted zone.

I use FireFox (latest build) and so do almsot every one of our clients
and all of the people I care about use it. We only use IE for windows
updates and some sites that don't work with FF.


What I use is Flashpeak's Slimbrowser and uses the IE engine I am
told, just a slimmer and faster version.

I know only too well the attraction of FireFox and would love to use
it. However, When I go to Pogo.com (game site), I cannot get it to
allow the pop-up window to open where the game appears. Plus I really
have a hard time with the scripts buttons at the bottom (allow or
dis-allow) I can never tell when it is off or on and often do not know
for sure what it should be.

Well, I just went and downloaded Firefox and installed it. The latest
version seems different in that the scripts bar at the bottom no
longer seems to be there, just an arrow or something in a window and
when I click onto it, the ad or whatever appears. I even got Pogo to
work! So from this point on, I will use Firefox.

Again, thank you for all your help. I REALLY DO appreciate you taking
the time to help me. It's people like you and others within these NG's
that help those of us who need it, people you do not even know but are
willing to help, that makes "Interneting" so much fun...and safer.

Fondly,
Mark
