How do I identify which broswer I am using?
Start your web browser, the same one you used to visited the site. Click the "Help" menu at the top of your screen and then in the list that drops down click on "About" It may say "About Internet Explorer" or "About Netscape". Choose that option and the web browser's name and version will be displayed. Keep a note of it.
For your convenience, your broswer's information is:

How do I clean my broswer's cache?
For Internet Explorer, version 4 through 6.0
Start Internet Explorer click Tools in the main toolbar, then select Internet Options and click the General tab. You'll see where you can control your home page, temporary Internet files, and history. Go to the Temporary Internet files area and click the (1) Delete Files button. This should clear the Web pages from your disk and free up that space. Now go to the History area and click the (2) Clear History button. If you do a lot of surfing, you can reduce the "Days to keep pages in history" entry. Click Apply, then click OK to save your changes.
Security Tip: If you set "Days to keep pages in history" to "0", IE does *not* store any information in the History list (but you still need to clean the cache !).
Performance Tip: In addition, over time, web page files and long lists of URLs can take up valuable disk space, and even slow down the browser. To keep IE running efficiently, you should periodically purge the Web cache and history log.
For Netscape Navigator, version 6
Click on the Edit menu and then click on the Preferences item. A dialog box will popup. Click the arrow next to "Navigator" in the box on the left so that it lists subtopics. Click on the subtopic called "History" then on the right click the "Clear History" button. Also click the "Clear Location Bar" button. This will get rid of previously visited all web addresses as well as those concealed in the location pulldown menu at the top of the browser window.
To to get rid of cached images, select "Advanced" and then reveal the subtopics by clicking the arrow next to "Advanced". Then click "Cache". On the left click both "Clear Memory Cache" to clear images from the current browser session. Click "Clear Disk Cache" to remove image as from the cache folder on the hard drive.
For Netscape Navigator 4 (including all 4.x versions including 4.7)
Go to your Edit menu and choose Preferences. In the left hand window go down to Advanced and click on the + sign. More menus will appear. Click "Cache" and in the right pane click clear "Memory Cache" and "Clear Disk Cache". That will clear cached images.
