Cacheator, I am currently using IE 11 with a Windows 8.1 PC and have had no problem logging in to anything nor downloading any of the Wherigo Cartridges. I do have Wherigo.com added to "Compatibility View Settings" located in the Tool drop down. Setting Compatibility View for some web pages has been needed since the advent of IE 8 and isn't a big deal if one wants to still use IE for browsing. While other web browsers may do the compatibility automatically, Microsoft decided to force the end user to set the flag in hopes the end user would complain until the offending web site changed to the W3C standards Microsoft wants everyone to follow. Also, going to the IE Advanced dropdown tab under Internet options and checking the box labeled "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" will correct other problems one might be encountering while using IE 11. Hope this helps you with your download and login problems. Al

A while back there was a Java update which may be at the root of the firewall problems. It sometimes causes a false trojan appearance which may be getting blocked by your routers. Whether it fixes the problem or not, you should do the following to speed up your browsers. The tools being disabled aren't needed! For Internet Explorer 1) Left click Tools 2) Left click Manage add-ons 3) Locate the Oracle tab down the page 4) disable Java Plug-in SSV and Java Plug-in2 SSV Close and restart the browser. For Mozilla 1) Left clock Tools on the Menu bar or Firefox if the tool bar is hidden. 2) Left click Add-ons 3) Find Java Deployment Toolkit (whatever version numbers) and disable it Close and restart the browser. Hope this helps you out. Al
