    3. Great, thank you all who replied to me so quickly. Sob Sob though.... the site tells me I have to upgrade to a better browser (Microsoft?) but, I am running 'Marcel' on an Acorn Risc PC machine (not a PC platform). Has anyone else had this problem - what did you do. I was to start 'exploring' the various IGI parishes to dig out my relies :-). Hopefully, someone will be in the know. -- Jayne Priaulx, Guernsey.

We also run a Risc PC - and used to run the Ant Internet Suite with Fresco as the web browser. There is nothing you can do about your problem as long as you continue to use Fresco. I recently bought the Oregano web browser from Castle Technology. It is a lot more stable than Fresco and is still being actively developed, although it doesn't yet have a cache, and some other features. It will cost you about £60, but the big advantage is that you can set it to fake Netscape or Microsoft. I use this to get into FamilySearch. You can get a trial copy of Oregano from http://www.castle.org.uk You can also use Oregano with all the other components of the Ant Internet Suite. If you decide to get the full version I can help you to install it if you have any problems. Rosemary, Northumberland PS I am not connected in any way with Castle Technology, but I have been using a Risc OS computer for 3 years and not only that, my son knows all about it!
