[Did you really install IE7 on the library's machine?!]

Since you're using the library's machine and connecting to the internet via their network, I'd have to assume that the library's security protocols are not allowing you to access the pages in question, Pat.

Sorry. No I am not using my machine at the library and no I do not have the

machine. This is my home desktop PC.

...I installed Internet Explorer 7 and that didn't make any difference.

If it's not your machine, I can't imagine the library allowing you to
install anything, let alone IE7, on their machine.

My operating system is Windows XP (home edition) in case that factors in.
<paste> No. And I am able to access those two links directly to their
websites (not
going through the library's main website. I have no difficulty connecting
to any website nor their links., just this one and the e-bay picture tool.
Thanks.

From our local public library website I am unable to access two links.
Clicking on the button results in nothing. Also, in trying to list an
item
for sale on e-bay, I properly fill in all required information and when
I
reach "Add Pictures" I get the same result...nothing. I have
successfully
used both sites in the past. And I have no trouble with other websites.
Technical advisors from both sites had me disable pop-up blocker, delete
caches and cookies, and (library) add the links websites to the
exception
list in pop-up blocker. Nothing worked. I installed Internet Explorer 7
and
that didn't make any difference. Sorry this is so long. I need help!
