Question Possible answer
Link buttons don't appear That's a known problem with older versions of Java on IE on the Mac. Please upgrade your browser.
2-D pop-up appears the 1st time I use it but not the second time That's a known problem with Java on IE on the Mac. The 2-D pop-up did open, but it's behind the main window. Click again to bring it to the front.
All the pop-up menus say "Recent". That's a known problem with Netscape 6.0 on the Mac. Please use a different browser.
There's a small window on the screen called "Dummy" This happens occasionally with Netscape on Windows. It is created in order to open 2-D pop-ups, and then hidden, but at times it stays visible.
