Q: The "Processing" graphic keeps flashing and the page never loads. What should I do?
A: This could be caused by a javascript problem in Internet
Explorer. You can reset your javascript preferences by going to the
Tools menu, selecting Internet Options, clicking on the Advanced tab and
then clicking on the "Restore Defaults" button (Internet Explorer 7.0).
Click OK, quit your session, restart the browser and try again.

Q: I'm using a supported browser, but I'm still having problems with pages not loading. What else can I try?
A:If your browser “cache” gets corrupted and/or has bad
“cookies”, pages may never finish loading. It is helpful to reset your
browser to its default configuration. Each time you access a file
through your web browser, the browser caches (stores) it. In this way,
the files (including any images on the page) do not have to be retrieved
anew from the remote web site each time you click the Back or Forward
buttons. You should periodically clear the cache to allow your browser
to function more efficiently. Clear your browser’s temporary internet
files (also known as cache), delete all cookies, and quit and restart
your browser. Directions for Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox 2.0 for
Windows are available below.

Q: Why do I constantly have to scroll to the left and right to view data on the screen? Is there something I can do to change this?
A: This problem usually exists due to the size of your computer
monitor and display settings. The normal display setting for most
software is 800 by 600 pixels. With a 17 inch monitor or larger, you
should see the entire Titan Web page and not have to scroll to the right
or left to view information. Try adjusting your display properties by
clicking on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display, Settings Tab, and adjust the Screen Area. If you have a large monitor, try 1024 by 768. Click Apply. Click OK.
