Q. Why is nothing happening when I click on a link or 'Go' button?
A. Several links and archive files within the site open in new windows. If you have a pop-up blocker, it will prevent these windows from opening. Here are a few suggestions:
  • Check that your anti-virus software and/or firewall does not have an option selected to block popups.
  • Disable the popup blocker on your Google toolbar.
  • You might have an application on your system that blocks popup windows. Check if you have any Internet security applications running in the Taskbar.
As a possible work-a-round: Many of the popup blockers have the option to bypass them by holding down the Ctrl key when you click on a link.
