Force a full REFRESH on the page with [CTRL] + [Refresh] (button on taskbar). This usually flushes out a duff page in cache.

I have found this to be a solution at times. The problem is that the cached page is indicating the same on its' date/time/size stamp, but it is flawed for some reason. Then even if you change the update options it (the file copy) may still be made active by explorer until you force a full flush - particularly on a slow line.

Likewise your ISP cache pages also and the same scenario applies in their server. This can take a couple more attemps on the [CNTRL][REFRESH] but it does apparently get cleared eventually.

Get back here if this is the case because I have just managed to clear a totally baffling problem of a very similar nature (Radio Player to a NZ Radio Station). Two other machines were fine on Dial Up, but my ADSL machine refused to work and kept locking up. Reloaded Explorer twice and went to a backup eventually when an Explorer reload failed to take (bas%ard). Then it was still not working. 4 hits on the full refresh later and Bob's yer Antie - really wierd. My guess now is that the bad copy (Java applett in this case) was on the ISP server - which is obviously a different cache on Dial Up to DSL.

This may just help
