Hi Valerie Tell you hubby to put that gun away! lol. Try downloading it in a different format. The last time I went on I saved them in tif. format and I think I used Applet the time before that. Jeanette x

I don't have broadband either and although I have Adobe reader I have always used the applet option. It does take quite a while to come down for each image (about 20 seconds - seems ages!) Anne
