Bill, I think your problem goes back to what I said a while back about having your 'browser's" security level set up to accept cookies. If you have 2 browsers (Explorer and Netscape for example), then give the other one a try. Another trick that works sometimes is to use the "right click" on your mouse button and then tell it to "Open Link in a New Window". Usually the problem you describe occurs after I have done a lot of "surfing" on the Internet and had many windows opened. By shutting down your computer and then restarting, you clear available memory and some of the browsers functions return. If you are not able to get the images you want, give me the names and resolution you want and I will download them and send them to you. Also, on Mapy, you will probably need the Czech name which you can get from a cross reference list: http://www.ihff.at/indexstarte.htm <http://www.ihff.at/detail.php?pos=15824&lang=en>Unterhütten = parish Svata Katerina, near Klatovy, Böhmen Bischofteinitz = Tyn Horskovsky, Böhmen or ShtetlSeeker.
