Good luck
Hi Linda,
Thanks for checking those for me. I tried your link, but it didn't work. I tried using firefox on my sis's computer, but it didn't work either. This is really puzzling me! I'm not sure what I should do.

Lyanne,
thanks for your input. Do you have any special settings when you use Google Chrome? I downloaded Google Chrome, but it didn't work.

Hi Storyteller,
I tried what you said in Internet Explorer and it still didn't work. It actually was already set to accept Third Party Cookies. Do you have anymore ideas?

UPDATE: Alright, so I spent a huge portion of yesterday messing around with the computer and trying different things. Still doesn't work! So I noticed when I click on the link that after a few minutes this error message comes up:
[SIZE="4"]The connection has timed out[/SIZE]
The server for Peterson's - Your Comprehensive Guide to College Information is taking too long to respond.
What does that mean? How can the server for Petersons be busy if other people are getting on! Anyone have any suggestions??
Also, I'm going to try using my computer in a wi-fi zone and see if I can connect. If I can then it must be our internet. If not then maybe its my computer.

I was able to use your link and get on to that page, BUT it is not the page you want.
Useing the link I gave you I got on 3 different computers with 4 different operating systems. Have you tried cleaning out your cache? What about turning off your virus blocker for a few minutes and seeing if you can get on?
Try this link, I did find a different that was bad, this one is before the sign in INSPIRE Information

I have not been able to access Peterson's practice tests either. I was able to sign into the site several days ago, but not since. When I click on Testing and Education Reference Center, I come to a page saying: "You have been idle for too long. Your session has timed out. Click here to resume." But I did log off before leaving the site last time. When I click on the link, I go to what looks like an error page. It won't let me resume. I tried logging off again and accessing again, but it did not work.
I don't know what is wrong.
When I logged off I came to http://www.gale.cengage.com, is that supposed to happen?

Laceylady try thr last link I posted. If you still get the timed out screen see if there is a home button at the top left of the page and click that. I have been getting in and out with no problem.

Under preferences ---> under the hood, I have every box checked except the one that says "Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google"
I'm afraid that's the extent of my knowledge. I do have some trouble with the site loading, not sure if it is a chrome problem or a Petersen's problem.
I hope you figure this out.
