Maybe
I just tried it and it works fine for me.

Maybe I need to start downloading pictures from their site like I did PennDot's old maps site...just in case. I downloaded every single map from there in case for some reason they decide not to keep the website free or they shut it down.
With Sanborn, I was fortunate enough to have downloaded maps from a couple dozen communities spiraling out from me distance-wise. Took a few hours but I'm so glad I did now. Lots of valuable information that we can't get anymore...saved on my hard-drive and a secondary external drive...just in case...

I have saved a lot from Penn Pilot but it's a longer process saving pics from their site. I download all eras available for particular areas. Nice for comparison.

I just tried it again and evetything worked fine.
I am using internet explorer.
It sounds like you might be having problems with your security program or firewall not letting you open the site. Did you update something in the last week or so that may have changed your settings.

Now that you mention it

My AVG Ubdated to the 2011 Version

I wonder if that has something to do with it

NOPE
Disabled AVG Tried it
Still didn't work

May be a Local thing since it dosn't work
for My Nephew Or Me on IE

 

[mtntrekr2]

AVG is pretty popular. I also have it but have my internet security settings set to medium high. Any higher settings and I have all kinds of warnings for unsafe web sites. and forget trying to download anything.

Huray !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Morning I Tried again.

Finally I'm back up

Thanks all for your suggestions !

Last night when I Shut my computer down it
refused to shut off till over half a dozen Updates
were downloaded. Apparently
one of those needed updates corrected the problem.
