WIN XP SP3 - Updated to March 2009 Black Tuesday security/criticals.
IE6.
I have not used any map sites for many months and today I could not get any
to open past the first page, whether it was Google, multimap, Street map,
Michelin or the AA.

As soon as I select/search a road or town, nothing happens.
Have I lost some software that is required.

I might add that all other sites all open, page after page - but not maps.

Which updates did you install? (There weren't any updates for IE6.)

I obviously didn't make it clear - I am using IE6 - just to let it be known
that I am in the correct group - and what I am using on the computer when
browsing.
Sorry if you misread the info.

I didn't misread anything. You said (or at least implied) that the problem
started after installing the critical security updates released on 10
Mar-09. I asked you what updates you installed.

Just letting all know my system, that its up to date with criticals and
using IE6.
I do not think it has anything to do with updates - have not found anything
that would suggest this.

Update
Problem solved - I use the free all signing/dancing security suite, PCGuard,
as supplied by my IP/ISP, Virgin Media.
I disabled the Identity Theft Protection and all maps now show, expand and
show satellite pics at the speed of light.
