Hi -
I'm on Win XP Pro, IE 6, and I'm using Frontpage 2003 to do disk-based
webs. I have a site that has a flash version and a regular version, all
within a singly-named disk-based web that I publish from Frontpage. When I
browse (NOT previewing from Frontpage) my site with IE 6, I get weird
occurances. For instance, in my flash site, the canvas upon which I place
content gets sliced towards the bottom when I click on a link. Also,
Netscape 7.2 goes weird with this site - the mouse cursor gets displaced in
my flash site and there is considerable distance between the mouse motion
and where the cursor appears onscreen. The thing is, I've posted for others
to check my sites and others say it browses fine. And indeed, I have no
occurances like these when I browse my site on my laptop (versus my main
computer where all this is happening). The site is www.frankbright.com . I
appreciate any ideas. I have gone thru my Advanced Internet Explorer
Properties tab and changed all the settings to reflect my laptop's settings
(since it browses just fine) but that has not helped. Thanks for any
assistance,...Frank Bright

Interesting - I also get the bottom part of the image "sliced" when clicking
a link on your Flash site. However, it cleans itself up when I scroll the
page up and down once. From that, and from your other symptoms, I would
suspect it's a video driver issue. First, turn down the color depth, screen
resolution and/or hardware acceleration and see if that helps. If it does,
I would try and update/reinstall the drivers for your video card from the
card manufacturer's web site. Now, I've done just that, and the problem
remains on my system - may be a limitation on my almost 4 year-old video
card. Or there may be a problem in the Flash coding as the top 90% of that
image closes and opens, but does not line up with the bottom 10% until the
page is scrolled and then it lines up (after forcing the screen to be
redrawn in that area by doing so). However, I would have to leave it to any
Flash experts here to know if that's really the case. It would be
interesting to see if anyone else with an older NVIDIA card also has this
issue. (Mine is a GeForce2 GTS w/ the latest 71.89 drivers)
