Help please with Web Pages

[Unconventional Angel Lady]

In the past 2 weeks, after a couple of Windows Critical Updates, I find that
when I go to certain sites, I can't access some pages.........for example:

I need to order some Priority Mail Shipping supplies from USPS.com. I sign
in correctly, put my items in the shopping cart, and ask to go to checkout.
Wham, I'm right back to sign in, and everything I have ordered is wiped out.
No matter what settings I have tried to adjust, this happens. For 2 weeks,
I have been unable to access the checkout page to get my supplies.

Now it is happening in Ebay. I have to reboot almost constantly to get to my
favorites page, or even my own page with Ebay.

I am frustrated. Can anyone suggest what needs to be done??/

I have probably read 1000 messages today trying to find someone who answered
this problem for someone else.

Thanks for your help!

I am using Windows ME and have done all the critical updates.

Check this Java setting.

tools/internet options/advanced/Microsoft VM - only tick
the JIT compiler
box and leave the Java boxes un checked (default)

Hope these are not required

Thanks for your suggestions, but none of them worked. I'm stumped!

That doesn't surprise me.

For advice specific to problems with secure sites, have a look at the first
link - for general advice, have a look at the second:

Sandi ------------ I feel so foolish. I can't remember the command to get
to C drive from A drive. I've been looking for 2 days for this silly
command, and I must just be overlooking it, but I can't figure it out.

I've been rebooting using the boot disk...which gets me into A drive.

I have not had luck rebooting without the boot disk.

Thank you!

At the A:\ prompt type C: and press enter. That's C <colon> <enter>

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, that was what I had already tried, but I tried again, and it
still doesn't work.

I'm wondering why .... I have a Gateway E-1400 and running Windows ME.

Is there a code or something that Gateway may have entered???

Man, am I frustrated.

I am getting a bad feeling here. Restart your computer and see if the drive is
even being detected. Is the disk you are using, a proper Windows ME boot disk?
The next time you are at the A:\ prompt, type;
dir c:\
I have a feeling that you are going to get a volume not found error.
