I log onto an interactive genealogical website and sometimes immediately, sometimes after a couple of searches I get the following screen info come up: Problem Report - The system detected HTTP Error Invalid Request while attempting to fulfill your request. Message ID - REQUEST_INVALID Problem Description - The system did not accept the HTTP request. Possible Problem Cause - Either a misconfiguration on the Cache, or a malformed request generated by the browser. Possible Solution - Contact your Web browser technical support team if the problem persists, and provide the team your account information.

The website tech support don't have a resolution to this problem. I'm wondering whether it is a browser problem or possibly a configuration conflict on my desktop.
