Am I missing something??

Hi
I have been using the speed cam database for a few months now and not have a problem installing them. But, since the new system started I cant seem to. I choose the various options, press the download button and I end up with a blank screen. Previously they would be automatically dumped into my "downloaded files" folder, but I cant find them now. what am I doing wrong?

Hi Mike

"There have been quite a few posts regarding compatibility issues with Firefox and also with ZoneAlarm".

Interesting, I use both of those and so far have not had any problems.

This is one of the nightmares about creating systems for the internet. We have tested successfully in hundreds of configurations, but there are so many out there it is impossible to tell if what we do will work with everything.

On top of that there are browser incompatabilities that need to be worked around etc, etc. It is a never ending task.

Hello again

Well the immediate problem is now solved, Mike took the trouble to email the files I needed. Very many thanks for that Mike :D .

To answer the other questions, the download option in tools, shows nothing.

Firefox version 1.0.7 and antivirus is Norton. Anyway thanks for the help guys, its much appreciated.

Can you update to the latest version of Firefox and re-test?

I've never had a problem with downloading the data, with any version of Firefox.

I think the firefox comment might be a red herring.
