every time I try to access 1940 census my computer locks up [View all]

I have the ED for my great grandfather's address. But I sure can't pull it up.

Anyone else having trouble? Or is it just my rinky-dink rackety fratz ol' PC?

I was trying to use the NA's viewer.

I found the NA's viewer really slow and clunky. It was just easier to download madinmaryland May 2012 #1

good advice grasswire May 2012 #2

You will need a high speed connection, though. Some of the ED's are 160MB! madinmaryland May 2012 #3

I do have a high speed connection. grasswire May 2012 #4
