NOTE: You may need to contact your IT systems administrator to perform the following steps if you do not have administrative rights or permissions for your workstation. The UNICOR online store is designed to be compatible with all versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 and higher. If you use a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and above to browse the UNICOR online store and receive the error messages of No Name Service Specified or Your request did not contain a service name, you may need to change your internet security settings for the browser or check the settings for allowing internet cookies. If the settings under the security section are set to maximum security level or if session cookies are disabled under the cookies menu in the Microsoft browser Tools Menu, the above error messages could be displayed.

To correct this issue, it is suggested that you go to the Tools menu on your main tool bar in your Internet Explorer browser window (usually shown on top tool bar by default) and click on Tools to activate a drop-down menu. Choose Internet Options from the drop-down menu (Internet Options is usually located at the bottom of the drop-down menu). Next choose the Security tab and adjust the security level (sometimes shown as a slider control button) to less than the maximum setting. Medium or Medium High settings should function properly.
