Cannot See The Buttons If you cannot see the menu of buttons in the left hand margin of your Browser screen, then you may need to change your settings, or have a problem with running Java programs on your computer, or you may be using an older Browser which does not fully support HTML frames. You should also be aware that there are many makes of Browser (Netscape is a popular alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer). Non-Microsoft Browsers will often behave erratically when rendering a framed website. The first thing to do is to check your Cache settings. Run Internet Explorer. Click on Tools and Internet Options. In the Temporary Internet Files panel, click on Settings. Ensure that in "Check for newer versions of stored pages" there is a bullet in "Automatically". This will ensure that the Java Applet used to generate buttons and other dynamic effects is loaded afresh each time. If you still cannot see the buttons, close down your Browser, exit from any other programs still running and then shut down your computer. Restart. You may be able to see the buttons on running the Browser again. You should also force a reload of the website by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl and F5 keys to see if the buttons appear. If not, try the suggestions below. If these don't fix the problem, then contact your computer supplier.

Without Java, your computer will not be able to use the Internet to full effect. Your computer supplier will normally have installed Java for you but, if not, you can get Java for Windows yourself direct from the Sun Microsystems website.
