All pages are missing the scrolling bars. Many pages come up blank, others with only a little showing, and you can't move anything, even with arrows. Sucks bigtime. Unusable. Anyone know how to get the scroll bars in there? Wasted hours trying to get rid of it, ran into same can't instal 4 because a newer version is installed wall that everyone has mentioned. I'm stuck. Have to use icab unless anyone knows how to get scrolling bars in there. Apple really blew it bigtime with this. Longtime Apple user. Can't believe they screwed up so bad. They need to make an uninstall and an updated version of 4 that actually works. Safrari 4 doesn’t even work on my G4 10.4.11. All pages are missing the scrolling bars.
