Green Dash Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm using Google Chrome at the moment but prefer IE, mainly because I'm used to it. When I go to the BMT home page, only the header is loaded and the buttons are dead. Everything works fine with Chrome. Any suggestions??

MHfred Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I use IE 8 with Vista Home with no problems on my laptop. My desktop uses IE 8 with XP and no problems. Have you kept updates current? IE 9 is out now so there may not be updates anymore.

Have you kept updates current? IE 9 is out now so there may not be updates anymore. I'm on a different laptop than I normally use. This one has not been used for access to internet for at least a few months and when I tried to run updates, I get an error message. I'll have to take care of that issue and hopefully the rest will fall into place.Thanks.Everyone - it is time to implement plan 64, I repeat ,implement plan 64. Jim has stumbled onto our plan to steal his identity.63 attempts to date? All you had to do was ask and I would've handed over my identity. It comes complete with instructions on how to contact me when it's time for you to beg me to take it back.

other dog Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I stayed with IE for a long time, but now I go with Mozilla Firefox to get on BMT- everything just works better, faster too. I don't know what happened to IE, but it has issues that Firefox doesn't. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I may have to give it a try. I'm not liking this Chrome, it's too hard to find stuff.

Barry Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I am not detecting any issues on IE8 or IE9. I also test on Firefox, Opera and Chrome. All seem to work fine.

Sk00t3r Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Click on File or Tools (depending on your view) click on Internet options. Click on the Advanced tab at the top. Click on Restore advanced settings then click Aply. Click on Reset... Click Delete personal settings and then click Reset. Click Apply. Click OK. Retart IE8. Let me know if this works or not.
