	I could just be a pop up blocker preventing it from opening in another window. If when you click on it a yellow bar appears at the top of the window that is caused by your pop up blocker. You can click on it and opt to allow pop ups from that site. If it's a jpeg or gif image then that is the likely cause. If it's fiche, then you will need a microfiche reader, so better to click on the gif or jpeg version, which will show like a photo.

	Another possibility. If your new to Ancestry, you'll need to download the image viewer. It should prompt you to do this when you try to view the image. Steve :o)
