I'm unable to view it.  It wants me to install Activex (which I do) but it comes up with following message

Same here 99 what are we doing wrong?

Oh yes FYI I is now on the "vista" Mmm getting used to it but finding some things may not be as good as XP (might change my view later when fully used to it) :halo:

Although 'Vista' has many good points, it also has quite few drawbacks which I've found aggravating

Oh, I use Firefox all the time so that's why it must have worked so well for me.

Yeah, it came with the computer.  I much preferred the layout of XP but since I got Vista, I couldn't be bothered to change it.

When my computer went kaput, my friend put a new computer together for me and he recommended Vista so I went along with his recommendation.  There are many things that I like about Vista, but as you said in a previous Post, it is completely different and you have to make adjustments to your XP ways.  I wonder what we'll do when Windows 7 comes out? Will it be completely different again?

Oh I expect so!

Someone once said that if every time they brought out a new model car, everything was changed and the pedals were in different places and the gears shifted differently, people would riot and never buy it. 

But for some reason Microsoft thinks its fine to bring out a new version of Windows and you can't find a bloody thing any more!

If you install Firefox Rad, you shouldn't have any problems.  I don't know why Internet Explorer can't view it though  :dunno:
