    Hmmmm, that's no good. Try clearing your browser cache, logging out and back in. If none of that works let me know.

    Or use Chrome or Firefox

    Get a new browser. For a lot of reasons.

    Google "Chrome", click on the first link (should be to a Google-branded website), and download/install it. Should be golden.

    Naw.... I took some time out fer' a nap, :)

    I need a new PC (had this one since 2005) and I'm still using a dial-up internet conection..... gotta' upgrade that too.

    I would rather have another firearm (AR's are calling to me) but will proly' keep IE 8 on this PC as long as I use the box..... and download and install firefox alongside it to see how that all goes.

    I hate to spend $$$$ and time on PC and software chit, I can't hit skeet worth a damn with a Hewlett Packard. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for all yer' responses.

    PS BTY:

    It's official..... I'm the guy who thinks puters' suck.... that they are nothing short of a commie' plot... and that I usually have better thing to do with my time than work on one, like take another nap. :)

    Interesting results.........

    After #$@!king around for five hours with "Java" and "Flash-Player" updates.... these two POS software informed me that I had to update my browser and OS first.

    Microsoft wont allow me to update my IE because my OS is XP....... and I'm nowhere near ready to install windows 10X on a 13 year old PC running dial-up sooooo.......

    I spend another five hours downloading and installing "Fire-Fox" alongside IE and after receiving all kinds of nerdy messages, restarting my PC, screwing with FF settings and options and taking a short nap.... FF starts to work and I KIN' SEE "boundlessdyad's" D*MN PICS.

    Just don't ask if them pics is worth all that work. :)

    PS: Bonus. I again kin' access HTTP sites using FF but...... FF is sooooo darn slowwwwww..... and that from a guy who uses dial-up. :rolleyes:

    Don't know If I've regained vid access yet though.
