Hello Darren, I think that there is something wrong with the "Customise your TomTom" link at the bottom of your signature. I have tried twice tonight to click it and both times it caused IE6 to freeze. Sorry........

It works for me (Firefox) but it's only for customising TomToms. Shocked

There is nothing odd or strange with the link, just a straight forward hyperlink to a web page.

As has been asked above, if you can visit the link below then you should be able to use the link in my sig. At least it proves someone has read it!

I'm ashamed to say I hadn't noticed the link! Embarassed How long has it been there?

Darren, is the Licence a bit ambiguous? It says:
Quote:
You may copy these files for you own or others use without financial gain

but one of the links says
Quote:
Grab the Speed Camera Download

which seems to condone sharing the database.

Your quite right, I borrowed a template from one of the other pages. I've edited that out now as each page contains a licence anyway, thanks Smile

Idea Eureka!
I got the problem last night and 2 minutes ago using my PC at work.
I tried it again at home this afternoon where I use Firefox and got a message saying that I need a plugin to see the page. I downloaded the plugin, which is a Quick Time Player.
Back to my work PC, the IT department have done something to all the PC's to stop people watching videos.
This will be the reason for your dodgy link Wink

Which is odd because there are no videos on the page that link points to!

I can only think that it is to do with the voices for the various cameras?

It's working now so not important but even the voices are only present once you have visited my signature link AND then proceeded to the Voice Download page?

Right at the bottom of the page you have:
Quote:
?embed name="CS1205945952279" src="downloads/ogg_files/PGPSW_TTS_sample.wav" loop="false" autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0" enablejavascript="true"??/embed?


This may be causing the problem.
