Yep! All it finally took was for me to switch to desktop mode which made the log-in button see-able. Once logged in I could allow the phone to re-size the page display.
Had my phone slowly go stupid - (guessing maybe cookies intended for regular windows slugging up my Windows CE 6.1?) - anyway had to finally do a hard reset which starts from scratch and lost me everything I had installed. Fortunately had been backing up phone on my desktop PC so I restored my phone book, etc. Hard reset starts you with a clean slate & no applications you acquired over time. So far IE is doing what I need. If I run into something it won't do I'll keep these apps in mind. Thanks for the recommendations.
