It sounds like the issue is the adverts or a 3rd party javascript will not load for you.
For it not to be working for an entire 3 weeks is kind of unusuall, and you have done everything right such as clearing out cache and trying different browsers.
You could try running an addon called no-script on firefox to see if it helps?

Thanks for replying - I'm now able to access through Firefox but its still not allowing HTML so everything I type is like masses of babbling. It means I've got both browsers on my desktop and I need Java enabled to access my work network I'm not sure if Firefox and IE will conflict if I have different settings on them. I've emailed microsoft but there reply was everything i'd already done plus the instructions below which did not do anything except to make me use up an aweful lot of energy ! Any more suggestions With regards and thanks Julie
Good evening !
Everything is now working - I have no idea why or what has happened but I can now get on Minimins using IE including using html !!
So now I'm a happy bunny the difficuly is that I've done nothing and changed nothing but its now working ?? Doesn't make sense but if it works who cares !
So thank you both Pierce and Mini for both your rapid responses and most of all for this fabulous site.
