forward and back buttons

New to Vista and not a geek.

When surfing, I look up to find both forward and back buttons are not lit.
The only option I have to return to the previous page is to click on the "X"
icon. When I do it takes me back to my desktop.

Re: forward and back buttons

Forward and back buttons only work when you are navigating away from your
home page "without" opening a new tab or window. If either of these are
occurring you need to X out of the tab or window.
