KB 956197 The information you need is here: support.microsoft.com/kb/956197 This is the method supplied by the browser. I would copy and paste the relevant parts here, but they're pretty easy to follow. If you have another version of IE and want it to act like IE7, read this article, which is mainly for web designers, but has a trick you can use: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(VS.85).Aspx Here is the gist of it.

1 I'm not the Askville computer guru. If I am working through IE (8, in my case) and if a website "visually misbehaves"--e.g. , Askville--I go to the address bar at the very top of the page.In my case, I have left and right arrows at the top left. Then I have a box for the URL address.

Just to the right of that I have 3 symbols: a broken document, the refresh symbol, and a red X. The broken document is the Compatibility View button. If on the other hand you have a program that perhaps was written for an OS that pre-dates Vista, Vista can try to run it.

Go to Control Panel-Programs-"Use an older program with this version of windows" (under Programs and Features). If I remember correctly, I put the CDROM in my drive and then went to this spot in Control Panel to install it. This is as much as I can offer.

If you need more, I am sure one of our gurus will chime in. Good luck! .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
