Interesting, it only seems to be a problem with my work computer. Here's what I know about it: Damn little. It is a Dell workstation on the railroad's network and the only Internet option I have is Netscape Navigator. Perhaps tensandtwenties can shed more light on the subject?
My HP laptop using AOL seems to work fine. I guess I'll just use it.
As for helping others in my situation, sorry I'm of no more help than that. I'm just barely above computer illiterate. Heck, I'm lucky to get one to come on when I finally find the right button!
