If you are using Microsoft's new Windows XP operating system or Internet Explorer 6 you may need to add Java support to view some websites properly. You can get the 
free download here!

If you would like to return to a web site at another time , add it to your "Favorites" list. 

Right click on the page you are on and a menu will open up choose "Add to Favorites" 

In the save as dialog box change the name of the site to something you will recognize if necessary 

Click "O.K." 

If you would like to have a page you like open every time you start Explorer, you can make it your home page.

Open the page you would like to be your home page

Click on "Tools" and select "Internet Options"

In the "Home Page" box click "Use Current"

Click "Apply" and "O.K."

If Internet Explorer doesn't seem to be working properly, try clearing out the "Cache" of internet files and see if that helps

In Explorer click "Tools" and select "Internet Options"

Under "Temporary Internet Files" click "Delete"

When it asks for a confirmation click "O.K."

When it is finished click "Clear History" 

When that is done click "O.K."

If you find that your dial-up internet connection often disconnects when you leave your PC, try changing the idle time. 

Here's how:

In the Start menu, (1)open Settings (2)Open Control Panel (3) Press Internet Options (4) Click the Connection tab (5) Press the Setting button (6) Press Advanced (7) Uncheck the box next to "disconnected if idle for (blank) minutes."

Your ISP shouldn't disconnect you again without your permission. The only way this won't work is if your ISP is doing the disconnecting. Many ISPs will boot you off for an idle connection whether you want them to or not.
