Even though I was put on this site, I can never access either. Can anyone

tell me how to do this? The site does not recognize me.

I had the same problems -- until I got a new computer -- now I can go to the

site with no problems at all -- I'm wondering if it's just that we had an

older version of windows explorer or something -- but whatever the problem

was, it's resolved with my new pc and new programs. Just my 2 cents.
