Try the following and see if it helps:

Do you have the JavaScript plug-in installed?
http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=9567

Also, if you have a pop-up blocker, try disabling it and see if it makes any
difference. Sometimes that will cause a problem with some sites.

In addition, sometimes the problem will be with the site itself. However,
if it was working previously, then it is obviously that is not the case.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
