Why can't I view some web pages like Wikipedia?

I get a pop up message asking me to Find/Save/Cancel.

there seems to be some 'extension' to the filename that my laptop can't read for some reason.

but it's just a webpage isn't it?

Only started recently - have only recently managed to get Flash working - connected?

Only Wiki & the Sunday Times (don't ask!) so far have had this problem.

help!

Most websites use java behind the scenes so maybe it's something to do with that. Have you tried clicking Save and seeing what it saves?

If you go to Java in the Control Panel it has an option to check for updates which might help and is unlikely to do any harm.
