video cable is bad, and is it replaceable if it is bad?
I'm wondering if I somehow got a different version of iCab, even tho it

paying and checking my history, but I don't get that browser not

my 5300c. I'd

Has anyone ever opened a M1906 and care to explain how it is done?

Also no problem here in 9.2.2 w/ IE5.
CarbonLib isn't a factor (IE doesn't use it).
Java's not a factor, since PayPal doesn't use it.

He shouldn't need a driver but will need a script.
