Hi Jim2148 :-)

When litigation was over between Sun Microsystems and Microsoft, Microsoft
was forced to remove the java code from Internet Explorer. Many websites
require Java Software to be displayed correctly. Do the following and see if
it helps:

Go here and download the latest version of Javascript
http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp

Download the Microsoft Java VM for Windows XP here
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Or get the Sun Java, which is the same as the Java

also...

If you have any Norton product with an ad blocker, turn it off.
