I didn't see anything about cash. I tried deleting cookies and temporary files and nothing helped. I think I'm using IE 7, but am not sure. As I said, I hardly ever use that browser. Can 8 work with XP? Maybe, that will help. I still don't get why it's not working with Firefox, as I have the latest version of that as well as of NVDA. Also, it's not that the site doesn't work at all. I can search, but can't narrow things down. If I found something that I liked, I could buy it. But I cannot search properly.
