I keep having a message about Active X which seems to be causing a problem. I have written it on the list for the next time I get an IT person in. There was another message about Cross scripting which stopped all viewing. It does allow a short viewing but not a long term browsing of the newspapers.
Wondered if the problem with the 19th c newspapers(for me) might be because of the age of my computer.I am still using Vista.-jl
