Success! I was determined to get them, so I started up the laptop and tried that. Apparently it is either the SP1 update to IE 6 that is creating the problem or Norton Security.....something in the firewall settings. Something in the download method employed at your site that my main computer doesn't like! In any case, I got them. Now all I have to do is see if I can burn them so I can read them on my other computer. I really need to get some kind of a network system here. I have 5 computers and none of them tied together:) Thanks for your efforts!
