This does not mean that the browser and operating system you have will not work with our site. As a guide, if the homepage displays correctly, this is a good indication that your browser will be compatible with the site.
If you are unsure about what browser version you are using this is how you can find out:
On Microsoft Internet Explorer:
- Select ‘Help’ on the browser options at the top of the screen
- Select ‘About Microsoft Internet Explorer’
- A pop-up window will display the type of browser currently being used
On Netscape Navigator/Communicator:
- Select ‘Help’ on the browser options at the top of the screen
- Select the ‘About Navigator/Communicator’
- This will display a page that shows the browser currently being used
Customised browsers should have a similar function to let you see which browser you’re using. Please refer to your browser provider for more information.
If you don’t have a suitable browser you can get one free by using one of the following options:
- Log on to www.microsoft.com and download a suitable version of Internet Explorer
- Log on to www.netscape.com and download a suitable version of Netscape Communicator
We also recommend that you regularly update your PC with any security patches that become available from the manufacturer of your operating system.
