    Hello everyone, Im a new mew member looking for some expertise from you guys.
    Im using XP pro and Windows Internet Browser.
    When Im in a site lets say my homepage which is Virgin, I can open the main links ok. But if I click on the "shop" link its window flashes on screen momentarily and is deposited into History List. I can open it from here but if there are any other links further in I cant see them at all, only the momentary screen flash.
    if any of you have any ideas and are really up for a challenge then drop me a line.
    Many thanks and happy computing
    Kevin

    Welcome to HWF :)

    The first thing you could try is to remove the Temporary Internet Files. Just launch Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Options. At Temporary Internet Files, click on Delete Files. Now try loading those pages again.

    But I would suggest to use a different browser than Internet Explorer:

    Firefox or Opera.

    These are much faster, secure and don't have as many problems as Internet Explorer.

    you could also try tweaking FF here, or you could try our own FF tweaks page here,

    personally i use the extensions Foxmarks & Customize Google, although, everybody has their favourite extensions & add ons or you can search the add ons here
