Reviews Blacked Out

I have a serious problem with viewing member's reviews. It occurs in two ways

1)  When viewing a specific album page, and the most recent reviews are shown, on the right side, where you see part of a review and you can click "read further" when i do click that i get about ten percent of the review on the right side of my screen and when i scroll that to the left to see the rest of the writing, all i get is a black block

2) When i am on a specific member''s page and want to view his reviews, and i have the list of them in front of me, and i pick one and click on "review" the same thing happens, on the right side of my screen is about five percent of the writing for the review, and when i try to move it to the left to see the rest of the writing, all i get is black

Does anybody else have this problem?  Do you admin. guys know if this is something you can fix at your end, or could it be my computer as the source of this problem?

Good news is that i can read the most recent reviews of an album that are in the center of the page for an album (like about the most recent ten or so), but that is still vastly limiting me

the review blackout affects all members reviews even my own list!

My computer is very old as well. Talked late yesterday to an acquaintance who knows  a lot about computers, and he said he thinks my Browser needs updating, and is going to do that for me a week this Saturday. Hopefully that will help. I will keep you all posted.
