Well I've installed IE 5.23 and it opens the archived pages just
fine. However I did try saving in another format but IE doesn't
offer pdf. Instead only offers HTML and Plain Text. Neither of
which save the images. You also can't just select the images in
Terraserver as it is a form of Frame made up of multiple tiles. Not
even Select All allows dragging of all images. When you do try to
drag, only a single tile of say 50 that make up the total pic is
copied.
Here's an example of a page:
http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?
t=1&s=11&x=1282&y=12195&z=10&w=2
The other confining issue is that MS has updated their base maps to
year 2000. The ones I have archived are from 1994, so simply going
to the same url with a different browser doesn't help me save the
older aerials in another format either. Of course I may just be
screwed. :)
I have utilized Screen Capture plenty but with aerials, much
resolution is lost and that is a major issue even when converting in
photoshop. Saving Source File is not helpful because it's the
images I want anyhow so back to square one.
But at least the files now open again now that IE is installed. So I
may have to live with Screen Cap anyhow. Thanks for the ideas. Of
course, others are welcome.

Your link does not work. What is its relevance quite? Your problem is
capturing images from a dead site (archived) right? You have them
archived in IE (from old IE pre X), right? Forget IE 5.2.3 X browser
now, this will not help you, in fact best to use the 5 one booted in 9.
You want to get the pics from an IE archived website that is sitting
on your computer offline? Is this right?
Without any image manipulation skills at all or any appropriate
software like Photoshop, this will be impossible to do. Assuming some
skill:
You open up the archived browser and view the pic at the biggest it
can go with clarity. You then screen capture what you have. You
scroll and you do it again and again and you stitch all the saved
pics together (in Photoshop you move each on separate layers till
they all overlap right and then flatten the layers before saving...).
You do this for every aerial shot.
When you talk of 50 tiles, it sounds very much to me you are looking
at a pic made up of slices of smaller pics. Clicking on them, at
least on the original site, you would then go another "enlarged" pic
which might itself be made up of slices (many pics side by side, top
by bottom, chess board fashion. If you made the archive prooperly in
the first place, ie, ticked the appropriate save "x links deep", and
it all worked, you will have the best res. But if you did not, then
all you have is the 50 little pics, you might as well scren shot them
alltogether on a big screen. You can tell if you have them archived
right re enlargements; are the individual 50 pics links in abig image-
map? Does the cursor become a hand? Can you click and go to an
enlargement? All this must be off line.
I better stop now.
