I'm not Nick, but I might have an answer.  The images are PNG format.  A
little newer on the scene than GIF or JPG.  Maybe your one browser is older
than the other?  I honestly don't remember if there's a specific Windows
hotfix for Explorer to use PNG images, or if it was just one of the many
more generic upgrades.  Nor do I remember when Netscape started supporting
PNG.

How do you fix it?  Well, either the authors go thru the trouble of
converting images and html to use GIF or JPG, or you could try upgrading
your web browser.  Neither are much fun, but that's about the extent of it.

Hmmm.  You also mention that you can't shuffle or draw.  You browser may not
support the necessary Javascript either.  That may be the root of the whole
problem, your notebook is out-of-date somewhat.  The joys of the
never-ending-Windows-patch cycle.  (You are running Windows I assume, since
it's so freakin' pervasive!)

Hope some of this helps.
