The solution might be as simple as just updating your operating system and browser to the most recent versions. According to documentation on the Westlaw website, the system requirements are as follows:
All Users
- Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0 and Adobe Flash 10.0 installed
- 1024 x 768 screen resolution (or higher) recommended
Windows Users
- Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
- Internet Explorer 7 or later, Firefox 3.0 or later, Safari 4.0 or later or Google Chrome 7 or later
- JavaScript and cookies enabled
Mac Users
- OS 10.4 or later
- Safari 4.0 or later, Firefox 3.0 or later or Google Chrome 7 or later
- JavaScript and cookies enabled
Westlaw has also recommended a couple of things you can try. One is to switch browsers. The other is to delete your cookies and clear your Internet cache. The process depends on your browser:
- In IE, go to Tools > Internet Options >General > Browsing History > Delete. At this point there will be a list of things to delete. Delete Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, and History.
- In Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Privacy, then clear recent history and remove individual cookies (you’ll have the option to remove all of them).
- In Chrome, click the little wrench on the right side of the search bar, then Settings > Advanced settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data.
After you do any one of these, restart the browser and all should be well.
When all else fails, call Westlaw tech support 1-800-Westlaw (1-800-937-8529)
