Shimrod, the newer browsers are set to be very sensitive to anything on a Website that might cause a problem. You have to tweak them to get them to work on some Websites, and some Websites probably won't work at all because they have something obnoxious on them. I've noticed problems with both AOL and Comcast home pages, because both of them are far too cluttered with garbage. I haven't noticed any problems with the MSN, Yahoo, and iGoogle "Web Portal" home pages. If you have to use Comcast or AOL, you may want to add them to your "favorites," but not set them as the home page that opens when you open the browser.

Say, why not make Mudcat your home page?

Another hint: resist the temptation to add toolbars to your browser. I don't mind the Google and Yahoo Web Portal, but the Google and Yahoo toolbars seem to have limited value and yet they add to the drain on your computer resources. If you don't use them constantly, don't allow them to take up space and resources on your browser. If you really have to have a toolbar, choose only one. One of my favorite nuns couldn't understand why her computer wasn't working - turns out she had six toolbars on her browser. I uninstalled the toolbars, and she felt like she had a new computer (and the usable part of her monitor screen was much larger, too).

I've noticed a lot of people have trouble with the AOL brower. I'd recommend that you use Firefox or (Microsoft's) Windows Internet Explorer. I've fixed a number of computers by simply uninstalling AOL software. If you're using an AOL dialup connection, you have to use AOL software. Otherwise, you don't. You can even access AOL e-mail on the Web without AOL software.
