domo,
Just some thoughts....
Is this happening in Internet Explorer? Which version are you using?
Are there any error messages?
Is the link opening "Minimized"? After opening the shortcut and when is closes, is there a minimized website in the lower taskbar? Can you open it from there? If so, then you need to train the shortcut link to open it in a normal window.
It's possible the actual URL for the site has changed slightly..Instead of using the shortcut, can you access the site normally from the Internet?
Hope this helps and let us know more.

I have a shortcut on my desktop to take me to Flashquotes (a website for stock quotes). When I click on it now, it quickly shows the title page of the website and then just as quickly closes it. What is happening? I've tried to install a new shortcut but the same thing happens. I am using Windows 98. Agnes
