Hello rghaynes_710, welcome.

I would attempt to delete and recreate the active desktop. If that does not work, perhaps the content on the website itself is having technical problems.

You can also attempt to reset Internet Explorer back to defaults to see if that resolves the issue.

  1. Click START
  2. Click 'Control Panel'
  3. Double click 'Internet Options'
  4. Click on the 'Advanced' tab and select 'Reset...' at the very bottom of the Window
  5. Restart your computer

Let us know what happens,

Thanks!

    You have to type "regedit" in Run.

    Regedit = Reg Edit = Registry Editor.

    (Note : Be careful making changes here)

    Then search for the above key, in the registry.

    Regards.
