Clearing the Cache/Cookies

Running out of disk space? Can't stop your browser from loading an out-of-date page or an image?
Your browser taking longer to exit? Your favorite Java applet is misbehaving?

One of the answers to all of the above questions may be to clear your browser's cache. Almost all web browsers maintain a local copy of web pages and other related items on your disk or memory to speedup reloading of previously visited pages from the Internet. This time saver may get bigger and slower over long periods of time. If this is causing problems, try clearing your browser cache as follows. Clearing your cache is something you should do regularly, or your browser will crash or manifest other problematic symptoms.

TIP: Although it's not required by all browsers, restarting your browser after clearing the cache is a good idea. If you're using Explorer 4.x or Explorer 5.x it's better to restart the computer as well.

For IE 7:

1. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Browsing History
2. Click the Delete button, then a Delete Browsing History button will appear, click on the Delete Files button next to Temporary Internet Files
3. When the verification window comes up, click Yes to delete the files.
4. After you're finished, click Close and then OK to close the Internet Options window.

For IE 5.x and IE 6.x:

1. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Temporary Internet Files
2. Click the button to delete all temporary internet files. Make sure the box is checked to delete all offline content.
3. Click OK to close out of the Options window.

Firewalls create barriers in order to prevent unauthorized access to a network. Think of the internet as a series of hallways. Firewalls are the security doors through which some people (i.e. data) may pass and others may not.

If you wish to make the most out of this site you MUST DISABLE ANY and ALL FIREWALL PROGRAMS you may be running.

Norton Internet Security - Symantec™

Norton's Tech Support : Norton Tech Support
Norton's Disable Info: Disable Info

Situation:
You have Norton Internet Security (NIS) or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) installed and want to know how to enable or disable the application.

Solution:
Symantec recommends enabling or disabling NIS or NPF through the main User Interface (UI). If you are using NIS, you must have Supervisor rights to enable or disable the application. If the Enable or Disable button is greyed out, you are not logged in to NIS under a Supervisor account.

To Enable or disable NIS or NPF:

1. Open NIS or NPF by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
2. Click Internet Status.
3. Click Current Status.
4. To disable NIS or NPF, click the Disable button. To enable NIS or NPF, click the Enable button.

NOTE: If you are running NIS or NPF on Windows NT, 2000, or XP, attempting to disable NIS or NPF through the Windows Task Manager or Services UI is not recommended. Disabling NIS/NPF through the Services Manager will not allow you to enable the application through the main NIS/NPF UI. If NIS/NPF is disabled through the Services Manager, the computer must be restarted to correctly enable the application.

To log on to the Supervisor account: (NIS only)

1. Open NIS.
2. Click Parental Control and then Accounts. You see the Accounts window.
3. Click Logoff.
4. Click Yes at the prompt "Are you sure you want to log off?"
5. Click Logon. You see the "Log On" dialog box.
6. Choose Supervisor in the Account Name box.
7. Type the password for the Supervisor account and click OK.
