My problem with this site is that it does not show the full length of the document while trying to view it It only shows the middle of the document and would not let me scroll to the bottom or the top.Is this unique to my experience and if so could some knowledgeable soul advise me how to correct this as my computer skills are lacking for want of a better term. Also on my Dell laptop as soon as i try to view an image it crashes.

Barbara et all, I use IE 7.0.5730.11 and using Viewpoint, I can view the records on the NSARM with no problem. I can zoom in and out and move up or down. So I am not sure it is IE 7 that is the problem as it works for me on my PC.

Glad you were able to resolve your problem. Suggest you go to the confessional in any case being that you are probably like the rest of us and not without sin. lol George Fraser ----- Original Message ----- From: <boblahey@sympatico.ca> To: <seorasog@eastlink.ca>; "Juanita MacDonald" <joseph000@ns.sympatico.ca>; <stanleyb@ns.sympatico.ca>; <ns-cape-breton@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 4:27 PM Subject: Re: [NS-CB] Problem with images on NSHVS > > Many thanks to all who replied>It turns out all i had to do was switch > browser as George suggested to Internet explorer from Mozilla and all was > cured.I would have been frustrated and > possibly been further polluting the air with verbal protestations had i > not asked.So that eliminates a trip to the confessional as well curing my > problem. > Once again thanks to all > Rob Lahey > > > > o> Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:11:30 -0300 >> From: SeorasOg@eastlink.ca >> Subject: Re: [NS-CB] Problem with images on NSHVS >> To: boblahey@sympatico.ca; joseph000@ns.sympatico.ca; >> stanleyb@ns.sympatico.ca; ns-cape-breton@rootsweb.com >> >> Rob, >> >> I have the same problem when viewing in Mozilla, but Internet Explorer >> behaves as it should.

I have not bothered to find out who as my FF crashes all the time and I have migrated to IE6 for those sites where it will not work. IE should be on your computer so open it up and go to the site and select the record you want to view. View, click on the image to enlarge,use the blue bar to go down the image, then put the cursor on the image and drag it the rest of the way up. If you have problems with FF on other sites like automatedgenealogy contact me off list so we can discuss. I have a Dell Dimension. bob gillis

Rob, I have the same problem when viewing in Mozilla, but Internet Explorer behaves as it should. You might try that. I tried downloading the latest version of the viewer, as they suggest, but that made no difference. So I switch to IE whenever I want to use that site, as it's the only way I can see the images.

Try placing the curser on the image, left click and hold it down while moving the curser in the direction you want to go. This will increase the image as well. Can't help with the other problem, I'm in the same computer class-room as you are ;o) Bernardine ----- Original Message ----- From: "George F.
