When I'm on Ancestry.com and type in a name and hit search nothing happens, ancestry works on another computer in my home which uses IE.

When I'm using Ancestry.com and I type a name and hit the search button nothing happens. It tells me it's done but doesn't bring up the records I'm looking for. When I use Ancestry on another computer in my home with Internet Explorer everything works fine.
