Hi Potioncat. I think what they are saying is that the cookies are 
turned off on the kid's computer. Firefox and Internet Explorer are 
browsers. There should be a IE link somewhere on there, maybe just 
not on the desktop. I just pulled up Firefox (which I don't like) 
and tested it. I am seeing the same thing that you are. No visited 
link color changes. So it is in the Firefox browser. Maybe there is 
a way to get it to work, but I don't know how. I would go into the 
control panel and see if you can find IE on that machine. I will 
leave it to the guys to tell you how, I am not that much of a tec 
person.

Good luck.
