Tracy,

I'm still running JFW 7 on Windows XP Pro, and I've noticed that
starting two or three years ago, websites became hopelessly inaccessible
whenever they were upgraded. People with more current versions of JFW
weren't having the same problems I was.  My theory is that advances in
programming and other protocols have simply left JFW 7 in the dust and
there is nothing to do but soldier on and cuss.

I'll be interested to see what you find out with this site using the
same version!
