Hi, Mayrie, well, I can delete my browsing history. I kept cookies, passwords unchecked because I need cookies on certain chat sites and if they're not there, I can't talk to anyone. My sister Jody was there when I attempted to do what I do and I think she said that the page for checking out a book or for my checked out books was really slow to load and I guess it just wouldn't budge to where I could actually get into that place where I could do anything about proofreading (With the exception of me reading the Proofreading Manual). I found another spot where I get thrown out in the Volunteer Home area, it's Books in Process. I don't think I can look there along with those two other places. The weird thing is if I want to submit a book, I'm able to go there. Yikes, Mayrie, is it gremlins? I wish I could think this is funny, and maybe I will once it's solved. Thanks for writing me. Regards, Kim. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mayrie ReNae Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2010 10:11 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Stymied ... And I'm heartsick Hi Kim, I don't know if your problem is similar to one I had a while back, but in case it is, here's what I experienced, and what I did about it. I found that when I loaded an internet page, the first page after starting Internet Explorer, the page loaded fine, but the next page I tried to go to either by clicking a link, or opening a new page just wouldn't load at all. So, I deleted my internet history in the options option on the tools menu in Internet Explorer. If you've already done this, sorry, and if not, maybe it'll help you too. I deleted all history, visited links, deleted cookies, and all stored passwords. In essence, anything that could be deleted from the history, I deleted. And I was good to go. Good luck.

And I'm heartsick Hi, Roger, bless you, I've done re-starts of my computer and I've also checked for viruses. I've also run Spybot. Let's hope a computer guru can figure out what's going on. I can't.
