Yes...I was able to bring it up just fine. However, there is a lot of
graphic and active stuff on that site. Try clearing your TIF's and see if
that will help.

Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files

The TIF size should be set to 50-60 MB. Larger caches tend to be more prone
to trouble.

Also, some updates can affect how things work. Did you do any recent
updates at about the time the problem started? Did you install or uninstall
all programs, Toolbars, popup blockers, etc. at that time? Do you have
Auto-Update enabled?

Hope this helps :-)
