A good way to troubleshoot Vista problems is to go to http://vista.uconn.edu/ and click “Run a Browser Check.”
(URL vista.uconn.edu no longer exists- go to huskyct.uconn.edu)

This browser check will ensure that your browser is configured so the complete functionality of Vista is available to you. Once you run the check, you will see various areas that are either checked or crossed off and recommended changes will be indicated. A frequent problem for users occurs when pop-up windows are disabled; Vista requires that pop ups be enabled.
