You can really only select one of tigermap/terraserver/toposerver at
a time.  The reason is that they are raster images, and will overlay
each other.  You'll only end up seeing the last one loaded, so why
load the previous ones?

It sounds like what you're getting into is timeouts on some of the
downloads.  Try deselecting all including tigermap, then just select
one raster image.  You can load vector images on top of the raster
images though just fine, you just have to select the proper map
layering so that the raster image gets loaded first.
