Image and Layers display incorrectly

[Guest]

I am working on a website using FrontPage. The pages include several layers
and a few image galleries. I have tested it on several of my computers and
it displays properly. However when clients open the page using IE6, the
pages do not display correctly. The layers display a faint border and where
layers overlap the contents of the layer seem to be interrupted with the
borders of an underlying frame. The display of graphics seems to be
distorted as well. My first suspicion is AOL but I can not prove that. Can
anyone help?

Maybe if we knew the URL?

for example on the main page the navigation bar does not work for certain
users, several of the links don't act as links and others when you click on
them may not go to the right page. I am suspicious that issue is a "users
not clearing their history frequently enough but..."

The on http://www.sienafaux.com/siena_gallery.htm when the page loaded on
this users screen I could see the borders of the layers and where a layer
overlapped the contents of the layer above it were skewed. Granted the
customers screen was about 14 inches of display and the monitor had to be
about 5 years old but I don't think that explains that issue.

Then when they view
http://www.sienafaux.com/images/Murals/ceiling-marble.JPG it shows with an
intense green color versus the brownish that the image has and that I see
when I view it from the gallery. There are several images that display with
different hues or saturations.

To me my answer is "get some current technology and get off AOL" but their
concern is they have friends who get the same issues and wether it is another
crappy AOL modification to TCPIP or IE they need it fixed.

Have you had them check image compression in AOL's browser? That could cause
that I should think. Many AOL users know that when they see buggy things
like that that it's the compression. I don't know if the compression works
in IE as well (it's not like I use AOL) but that might be the case. It did
seem to render okay here. It there were any problems I didn't notice them.

Hence my confusion. They open Internet Explorer but the activity icon
appears to be different. I know that they use RoadRunner which I suspect
customized the IE with AOL or AOL like crappy DLLs.
