You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Hi David,
Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs and enable the option:
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser"
Close IE and open again. Click YES if you are prompted to set it as default browser.
For Windows XP, you may use this method as well:
Download the .reg fix. Set Internet Explorer as default browser:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg
Use this only if IE is installed in its default location [C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer]
