Dawn,

Further to Frank's comments about the Javascript errors in your other thread,
the Javascript errors are about some code dealing with launching
a Java applet called Groopz. The applet launches itself in its own window.

This suggests several possible causes for your problem.
Do you have Java support installed? Which one? MS or Sun?
Which version? Do you have a popup blocker installed and active?

For a test try disabling Java support (e.g. in the Security dialog or however Sun
does it). Disable the popup blocker too just in case the popup is supposed to
occur before the applet is launched.

Good luck
