There is never a good time to buy a new computer.

Thinking that you may need to post some more details on this one.

Is this a public website or internal to your company?  Do you have to do anything to display the 3 options or are they normally just on the page as links?  Dropdown menus?  Is this a website that you have to log in to? Are you using the same browser (firefox, internet explorer) as the other folks?

Any chance of post a link to the site in question?

Check your encoding. Try other encodings then the default one your computer is set to use. This had been known to solve problems like this before.

don't know enough to change encodings but

2 options on a public library site that are visible are (both underlined):

(5) items currently checked out

(6) requests (holds)

missing one is:

personal history

Can't remember if this is underlined on other sites

Changing encoding is very easy. All you have do is right click on your mouse and choose encoding. Good one to try is Unicode. Try ticking the Auto-select as well.
